I'm not sure if one would define this writing as a shape poem also known as concrete. 

It's written so each block of the body of the work lines up perfectly. I do this so it has somewhat of a visual appeal. It's difficult to shape the piece in this way. However it does have its rewards.

 

it’s not its striking unique slate of tones as if vincent had risen from his century long sleep it is not nature’s rich hypnotic melodies or the slim fingers of gusts touches our very cores stirs emotions in the coldest of humans or the crackling sound under our new walking shoes it is not the acorn berets chipmunks discard below white oaks once they devour its scrumptious meat not the wagon rides or the hot chocolates that stamps its marker on children’s innocent faces it’s not the bliss(greater than any gift) our kids ingratiates us in displaying their unadulterated love returned continuously and unconditionally this adventure reminds us of our blessings a welcomed little something beyond cities however it’s not any one single happening of this season which fills our hearts warm it’s the multitude of many moments the ones greater than any reality or of all the fantasies found in dreams deep within our fortresses built it’s all the endearing memories autumn leaves armand~

Your expressions are always wonderfully written, Armand. We can find joy in so many things around us that create blissful feelings, if only we notice them. Best wishes from me to you on your second book!

Lovely poem, Armand. What has made you start doing poems in the format? I really like it, but I loved also how you used to write all those years ago!!

Good to know, my friend and there's nothing wrong with experimentation either!

I still also write as I always have. I wanted some variety for my second book soon to be published. The form believe it or not is an anti thesis to the title. Why, because I’m still the same little imp I’ve always been. In fact I also wrote a version of this poem in my original style which I actually like better than this style which handcuffs me at times. Maybe all the time.

So true. All seasons regale us with memories not to be forgotten. A very pertinent poem. Blessings.
