Concrete Poetry

I just remembered that there is a type of poetry that uses the shape of the poem to define the subject of the text. Concrete poems tend to be very whimsical, but sometimes they can be somewhat more sophisticated. It's interesting to see the use of text and white space to create a poem that speaks on multiple levels. Here are a few cool ones I came across this week:

Translation of that last one:

It is raining of the voices of women as if
they were dead even in memory
It is you also that it rains marvelous
meetings of my life, oh little drops
And these reared-up clouds take themselves
to neighing an entire universe of auricular cities
Listen if it rains while regret and disdain
cry an ancient music
Listen to the falling of the bonds that
restrain you from top to bottom
