Concrete poetry involves arranging the letters or words that describe an object into a visual image that also describes the object. It is a kind of painting with letters or words as the medium.

Look around for objects that have interesting forms or the patterns they create. Think about what you want to say or convey about your subject. What is interesting about your subject, is it the shape, smell, or taste?

Make lists of words you might use to describe these different characteristics. Now play with the words to form a picture.

Think about varying the words you use, the shape and sizes of letter forms and how to position them on the page.
