A Seeing Poem
by Robert Froman
Write a Concrete Poem
Write your own concrete, or seeing, poem. There is no
exact formula for writing one. The only element required is
that the words you use create the shape of the object or ac-
tion your poem describes. For instance, how could you create
a concrete poem to show the destruction B.J. caused to Peg’s
gingerbread house in “The Dog Newspaper”?
