This is another effort of mine on Concrete poetry.. A Concrete poem is one that takes the shape of the subject within..and we all know that a star is a written light in the dark that can fall apart ...

This must have taken a lot of time and effort, but it was worth it. The shape is perfect, and the lines and line breaks are all natural - if only everybody were so particular, instead of breaking lines just anywhere! And a good poem too - quite an achievement
