Concrete Poetry
Concrete poems are abstract and allusive to an existing poem or identifiable shape.
"Question" by David
AnalysisThis poem is very short but it expresses the love a girl has for a boy. She is wondering what he will remember about him when he leaves or she's contemplating what she wants to remember. The memories are good but she doesn't want him to leave. Just remembering his name might be the best way thing for her to remember as a coping mechanism. She liked all of David's qualities but they're too hard for her to deal with at the moment.
