A Concrete poem is a poem written in the shape of the object of which you are describing. They're very simple and fun. Since Christmas is just around the corner, I chose a Christmas tree to be my perfect example of a concrete poem. As you can see, the words are formatted in a way to resemble the shape of a tree and the bottom that which sits in a bucket of water. A Concrete poem is meant to be visual, creating the shape of the object; the words don't matter too much, it's really about the look of the poem.
