Is visual poetry shape poetry?

In: Poetry [Edit categories]

Answer:

One form of poetry that makes a shape is called 'Concrete' poetry.
----poetry
-----------like
--------------this
------------can
--------make
-------a
------s
------h
------a
------p

------e,

something that helps to get across the meaning of the poem (the one above seems to be saying something about an answer in the form of a question...). However, nearly all poetry is visual; if the way words are placed

on the page isn't a visual clue as to the meaning of the poem, the vividly smooth dictionary-defying imagery helps to paint a vivid picture in the readers mind. All poetry takes shape somehow!
