A long while ago there were posts on shaped poems, either here or, more likely in the General forum - like the Lewis Carrol mouse's tail one in Alice (can't remember which book) - I seem to remember one was like a swan. I was talking to some people about them and would like to show them examples, but haven't a clue how to find them again. Can anyone provide a link, please

The category of poems you seek Marian is called "concrete poetry". Here are some examples: [www.gardendigest.com]
