Queen Of Spring~Concrete Poetry

by Poet on the Piano   Jun 4, 2009


----------------------------Creamy-------and-- soft--------------colors
------------------------------Layers-------of--pure----------delicacy
---------------------------------Single-----yet--so----------unique
----------------------------------This young one grows in hope
-----------------------------------Dreaming of that special day
-----------------------------------When she will no longer be
------------------------------------Called a tiny maturing bud
-------------------------------------But known by the forest
-------------------------------------As a fully grown flower
-------------------------------------That rightfully earns the
--------------------------------------Name of her ancestors
--------------------------------------Tulip, Queen of Spring.
-----------------------------------------------Stories
-----------------------------------------------Will Be
-----------------------------------------------Told
-----------------------------------------------Of her
-----------------------------------------------Great
-----------------------------------------------Feats
-------------------------------------------And how they
-----------------------------------------------Helped
------------------------------------Her learn many valuable
----------------------------------------------Lessons
---------------------------------------------And meet
-----------------------------------------------New
----------------------------------------------Caring
----------------------------------------------Friends
---------------------------------------------That will
----------------------------------------------Never
----------------------------------------------Be lost
-----------------------------------------------In her
-----------------------------------------------Mind.

My first try at writing this kind of poetry, thank you all for reading this!

    Is the picture a woman? If not it's what I saw. It was not what I am used to when I think concrete poem, but that being said I do like your version of this type of poem just as much. I was able flowed freely from one verse to anothe. Without interuption due to the verses size changing.

    Well don and I hope to read more.

    This is a great poem
    very unique
    and i like the idea of the format
    it is appealing to the eyes

    if i may offer one suggestion
    i would take the word -up- out of the following line of your poem
    "As a fully grown up flower"
    id make is just
    "As a fully grown flower"
    i find it flows better

    but great job on the poem
    i hope to read more:)
