Today’s poetry form is called Concrete Poetry. Huh?? From Brewer, “Concrete poetry is one of the more experimental forms available…they use space and sound to communicate. Concrete poetry is more visual than other poetic forms.”

Honestly, I found this one quite difficult. But I also found in it an opportunity to combine this entry with a day 9 watercolor for World Watercolor Month. Read here for some examples.

Warrior

becoming a warrior
strong
pliable
beautiful
breathe exhale inhale
stilling the mind…peace
calm focus steady effort soul body mind
curious surrender
truth control
belong natural
namaste acceptance
aware
brave

Recently, I started a personal challenge to explore and write in 100+ different poetic forms.  To assist me in this journey is Robert Lee Brewer’s The Complete Guide of Poetic Forms where he gives the form and an example. Warrior is #9 in this collection I’m calling, very simply, 100+ Poetic Forms.
