Cloudia mentioned my Sunday post looked like concrete poetry. I had to look it up. I found many examples. Here are just a few. It's a new genre for me to explore.
There are tons more on Google images.

I've never heard of or seen these before, they're interesting, but too many will have my eyes spinning.
I did know of them, and these are great examples.
River - I think I've seen them before but didn't know they had a special name.
Sue - I didn't realize how spot-on my Sunday joke was.
I didn't know this style was called "concrete poetry" either! Thanks!
I remember making pictures with the typewriter in high school Typing classes, but in that case we just used Xs.
I had a book of concrete poetry years ago. These a wonderfully inventive and fun to read. Thanks!
Deb - That's your 'learn something new' for today. Take the rest of the day off.
Kathy - You brought back a memory of the female figure we could print out on a teletype machine.
Shaw - What's old is new again.
Learned something new today - concrete poetry. Hmm..
Fun examples Mike!
Peg - Me too yesterday.
Cloudia - I think so too.
I've seen things like that before. I just didn't know it was called concrete poetry.
Concrete poetry cements my belief that people will be carried away by almost anything.
Kirk - Me neither.
Bill - Careful. You don't want to cement too many beliefs and turn into a Republican.
