cowboys are nifty.
A Concrete poem is a conglomeration of words (sometimes one word repeated over and over) whose overall shape is a key to the concept it presents. There are no truly agreed-upon conventions, but a natural elegance of arrangement is often striven for.
Sometimes the poem can be read in multiple directions from different starting points, depending on the shape of the form and the curiousity of the reader.

P
R
I
C
K
!

That's why I (from cow on) will be opting for the infamous 1-0-1.
ha ha ha ha...WHO? lol.
A carefully stacked pile of shucked shit.
Amazingly painful and absurdly meaningless.
Because, we were convinced that if anyone could escape death that 'anyone' would've been you?

You are always amazing, friend...
It's amazing what me you and Da come up with in our free time. Last night I found some lint in my neighbors Timothy Hutton (navelator)

It's lyrical, raw and scholastic,
I just think it's swell,
But in case you can't tell
I'm actually being sarcastic.
These are like some sort of pseudo-limericks. 10
