Adventursome Poetry #1 experienment of form

Poetry is my favorite challenge.  Today, I decided to stretch my brain a little, and attempt to write a concrete poem, to experiment with form.

A concrete poem is one in which the arrangement of the words is just as important to the meaning of the poem as the words themselves. The  words are arranged on the page to help create an image that has meaning to the poem. The following was my attempt. Be it as it may.

I screw up 

mess up

slip up

fall 

I will not

can not

do it

all

The Balloon

It hovers like a cloud

above the subtle flowing fields

of waving grass and golden daffodil.

could I reach to touch its colors proud,

and catch more than but minute glance,

Oh what a very happy circumstance!

Gone the cares of sad tomorrow

away with tears and sorrows

they hover just above 

the glorious

clouds

The

End
