Good concrete poem. I like the circle. Shapes do make poems interesting. Thanks.

Thanks Darlene. Your cat shape is amazing! Did you do it all yourself or did you find a any technology to help shape it?

I was trying to put the words on a picture of my cat sitting like that. It didn’t work well. So I kept looking at the picture as I did the words to see if they were forming the shape I wanted. It was challenging but fun.

Great job! The spiral really complements your theme, especially the line “catch me if you dare”. My eyes were trying to follow and “catch” your words as I attempted to follow the spiral properly. So cool.

Thanks Laura. Glad it worked for you. Yeah it has made me want to play with it some more – I have found a wave shape that I will use on a poem tomorrow.

Yeah I have written lots of kind of “scream” poetry but rarely post it especially as I blog under my own name! It is a shame though as it is some of my most powerful. Perhaps one day I will

I was worried about using my name at first, but I have a need to get the message across, so I no longer care. I think that people respect me for it.
