Ok I finally accept the place for concrete poetry. I have been very resistant. I particularly like the expanding sun, I think that is the first example that actually made me feel something due to the layout of the letters. Lovely
I could see the small wave or the peak of the larger wave right away, before I read anything on the page. I can also see the number two, don’t know if that means anything – it seems to be in the movement of the larger wave. This movement of the wave adds so much more meaning to the poem.
And of course you already know that I love it 😉

This is awesome! I love the old-fashion poetry that’s rhyming and rhythmic. This, however, is one of the few free verses that have enamored me.
