Yes, it’s a form! It’s called concrete poetry (or sometimes “shape poetry”).

I wanted to try poetry in form. Like legit- in form, the form of a triangle/arrow…. That begins with one word and grows into full length in the middle of the poem and back again. If there is a name for this Rachel B. Baxter I’m not sure what it is but I wanted to see what I could come up with. I like it. It aligns with my theme this week. Thank you! Anyone else want to try?
