For National Poetry Month this year, I am writing poems in uncommon, unusual, or inventive poetic forms. The only rule I have set for myself is that I choose forms I am unfamiliar with. Here are some of the resources I am referencing.
- 20+ Different (& Wild!) Poetry Forms for Inspiration
- A Strange Poetry
- Refrigerator, Blackout, And Other Radical Poetry Forms
- Experimental Poetry Forms
- Shadow Poetry (See invented forms)
- 20 Fun Poem Types (You've Probably Never Heard Of)
Today's poem is an Assembly Diagram poem.
An assembly diagram poem is written in and around the images of assembly instructions. I've totally invented this name, so consider it an illustrated poem with particular images. I was inspired by the poem How Clear the Cut by Anney Bolgiano. You may have to click this one to enlarge and read.
