CONCRETE POETRY

Concrete Poetry is the use of words and their physical formation to convey meaning.  This may be done with colour, the shape of the letters, and/or the arrangement of words.  

Directions: 
Graphically create a scene using only words.  From a distance this
will look like a picture, but up close it will consist only of words and
phrases.  No extra lines or shapes should be used.  A light pencil
line might be drawn first as a guide.  Use colours, shapes, and sizes that
will enhance the meaning of words.
