Concrete Cat

The poem “Concrete Cat”is a concrete poem. It is concrete in a sense that it is made for the eye. It is concerned with the physical appearance of the poem( in our case cat) rather than what the poem means or tries to convey . The capital letters A, Y, U indicate pointed ear, bright eye and tongue of the cat respectively. The space left between the letters in the word tail shows its length. The upside down mouse shows that it is killed. The pun in the cat’s middle stripes is the only place where language becomes figurative. The poem has reduced language with only ten different words. Thus, it is truly quite an art it doesn't convey any deeper meaning it simply shows the perfect depiction of the physical form of a cat with the help of minimum words. Of course poems could be written with tons of worlds explaining the beauty of the animal but this shows that sometimes the simple nature of things is quite amusing and brilliant.
