Concrete poetry is a form of visual poetry which is known as imaginary poetry, in Persian language. We can enter the genealogy of concrete poetry from two perspectives, First Persian acrostic Moshajjar and Mottayar poetry, the other one is French poet, Guillaume Apollinaire lyrics, which is known to Cali grams.But the systematic concrete poetry formed by poets such as Eugene Gvmanzhh, Gstvdh Pygmatary Campos and in South America.In contemporary Iranian poetry, visual aspect of poetry considered by poets and different varieties of this type has been created. Unlike traditional poetry, which is dependent on words, elements of fantasy, metaphors and symbols, Concrete poetry realization requires an understanding of the visual aspect of it, which is achieved through cooperation of concrete elements and techniques.This kind of poetry has a direct relationship with exploration, understanding and audience reception.In fact, it is the audience who makes and completes the work, by receiving the hidden layer of poetry. The poet does not end the poetry,because the audience completes the text by exploring the relationship between implicit and explicit and reading the unwritten parts. In this study, we follow the historical discussion of concrete poetry,and the way it shaped, and how the poets entered concrete poetry,and we try to present a new classification, according to the poems that have been classified as concrete.

I.A. Richards was an influential English critic and poet in the early 20th century. He introduced new ways of reading poetry that focused on figurative language and the author's intended meanings and feelings.

Figurative language like metaphors and similes are important but can also lead to misunderstanding if the author's intentions are not understood. Richards argued for close textual analysis and consideration of the author's context to properly interpret literary works and avoid misreading due to assumptions.

Concrete or shape poetry is a form of visual poetry where the arrangement of words in the poem is as important as traditional elements like meaning, rhythm, and rhyme. The earliest known example was written by Simias of Rhodes in 300 BC in the shape of an axe. The term "concrete poetry" was coined in the 1950s to describe poems where words form pictures and shapes. Characteristics include using the poem's appearance to connect the reader's ideas to the subject, with structure and lines taking the shape of the topic rather than focusing on rhyme or sound.
Minimalist poems are loosely defined but influenced by forms like haiku and focus on being concise by eliminating unnecessary words. They do not rely on narrative elements like characters, scenes, or specific events and instead focus on individual words or typography by varying font, spacing, and size. Minimalist poetry emphasizes visual representation through the shape and placement of words on the page rather than just meaning.

Daud Kamal was a Pakistani poet from Peshawar who wrote in both English and Urdu. This poem, "An Ode to Death", reflects on the universal certainty of death through imagery and comparisons.

The poem considers the physical dissolution of the body after death and ponders how long it takes for eyes to dissolve in the grave.

Poetry is a literary work that uses distinctive style and rhythm to express feelings and ideas. Poems can have various structures, including stanzas of different line counts. Readers often make incorrect assumptions that a poem has a hidden message to decode rather than appreciating the sounds and emotions directly conveyed. Poems use techniques like descriptive language, rhyme, metaphor, and rhythm in various forms without always needing a specific structure. Common types of poems are lyric, which expresses personal feelings; narrative, which tells a story; and descriptive, which focuses on images of the external world.

This document summarizes Samuel Taylor Coleridge's views on prose, poetry, and poems as presented in his work Biographia Literaria. It defines prose as ordinary writing without a metrical structure, while poetry uses techniques like meter, metaphor, and rhyme to convey experiences imaginatively. For Coleridge, a poem must harmonize these literary elements, unlike prose. He saw poetry as the product of imagination, idealizing reality. In both prose and poetry the goal can be to convey truth, but poetry prioritizes passion through its use of meter.
William Wordsworth, Raghunath Choudhry, and Rabindranath Tagore were all worshippers of nature who believed nature was man's guiding principle and best teacher. Though from different eras and cultures, their poems extraordinarily depicted nature's beauty and its impact on human feelings.

Overall, all three poets expressed profound love of nature through their writings.
English literature can be divided into four main types - poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction. Poetry is a type of literature that conveys thoughts in a lyrical arrangement of words and can have structured forms like rhyming lines or freeform styles. Drama is a composition intended to be acted on stage involving characters and conflict. Fiction includes novels, short stories, and novellas that are created from imagination rather than presented as fact. Nonfiction is based on true events and includes categories like narrative, expository, persuasive, and descriptive writing.

The difference between prose poem and poetryMinkalItaliya
The document discusses the difference between prose, poems, and poetry.

To some extent, this poetry talks about the hopes which are carried by conscious and struggling people of society.

The Philosophy of Composition
The philosophy of composition was first published in 1846 in the Graham’s Magazine. It
offers an explanation into Poe’s process of composing the poem “The Raven.” It also acts as
a template for the composition of poetry in a more general way.This book therefore tends to
act as a true prescription for writing poetry. Many critics have however seen it as a ploy to
met satirical attack on other writers and keep much attention to Poe. There are notable
moments of extreme exaggerations by Poe in this poem but his central critical and central
ideas lie on such poetic styles for example unity of effect, and beauty as the main motive of
YourLastName 2
poetry. In the poem “The Raven” for example Poe puts into the foreground the importance of
design or a clear sense of purpose while designing any literary work e is against those poets
who hold the view that ecstatic intuition should be the basis of composition.
The emergence of Romanticism for example had brought this ecstatic influence into the
world of poetry at this time. Poe was however against this hyper sentimental treatment in
poetry. In other words, rather than the poem becoming a mere expression of emotion, it also
needed to in cooperate precision and rigid consequences of a calculated problem in order to
capture and communicate psychological states to the reader. In this essay Poe argues that
literary design begins with the idea of effect. This effect on the other hand must be novel and
vivid to the reader. In addition, the effect should be universally appreciable and also suit in
one a full way the popular and critical taste of the reader. In this essay, Poe discusses the idea
of circumstance in poetry. It is this circumstance that also creates the necessity of universal
appeal.
The circumstance should however conform to literary market of the time. The critical
emphases of Poe lie on the unity of impression in any artwork. Unity of impression according
to him means that every element of the poem or a short story should work towards having a
similar effect in the reader. He however looks at the element of unity in two ways. The first
perspective is the emphasis on extent, in that any work, in order to achieve this unity must be
consumable in one sitting. This limit is particularly true for the poem “Annabel Lee”. The
second point on precision comes from the common knowledge that there is no thing as a long
poem. Any long poems are thus a manifestation of a series of poems interposed among.

The document discusses analyzing poetry through close reading and identifying literary devices. It explains that a poetry explication attempts to describe the meaning and relationships between stylistic devices in a poem. Some common figurative language devices found in poetry are mentioned, including metaphor, which draws comparisons between two unlike things, and simile, which uses "like" or "as" to directly compare two things. The analysis of poems through identifying these literary techniques is important for fully understanding the poet's intended meaning and message.
Poetry can be differentiated from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a less condensed way, using more logical or narrative structures. This does not imply poetry is illogical. Poetry is often created from the desire to escape the logical, as well as expressing feelings and other expressions in a tight, condensed manner. English Romantic poet John Keats termed this escape from logic Negative Capability.
Prose poetry combines the characteristics of poetry with the superficial appearance of prose. Other forms include narrative poetry and dramatic poetry, used to tell stories and so resemble novels and plays.
William Wordsworth introduced new themes and styles of poetry in his Lyrical Ballads collection in 1798. In the preface, he argued that poetry should be written in the ordinary language of people, not the highly crafted poetic language typically used. He believed poets should select words from the common language of men but refine it, giving it color through their imagination. Wordsworth sought to move away from the neoclassical poetic tradition and write poems in language as it was truly used by people.

Poetry Analysis
Prose is ordinary written language that is used in stories, books, and other texts. It lacks a strict metrical structure or rhyme scheme like poetry. There are two main types of prose - narrative text that tells a story, and expository text that provides information through description, analysis, or classification. When poems are translated between languages, they are often converted from verse into prose. Prose poetry combines characteristics of both poetry and prose by including some metrical or rhyming elements while maintaining a prose-like form. Free verse is a poetic form that uses irregular line lengths and no set rhyme scheme.
The Analysis of Romanticism Traces in Akhavan Sales Poetry, Focusing on his P...IJERA Editor
Winter is one of the most famous poems composed by Akhavan Saless and is one of the best samples of the contemporary poetry. This poem composed in Dec. 1955 was published in Winter verse collection. The general atmosphere of the poem reflects feeling of defeat, disappointment and frustration overwhelming the Iranian community post-coup d‟état, Aug. 1919, 53, through a metaphoric and symbolic expression. In the present research paper, the romantic aspects of winter have been studied and the romanticism has been traced in this poem through employing the components and features of Winter such as naturalism, metaphorizing, disappointment and pessimism. To achieve this objective firstly, we present a definition and general perspective of Romanticism; then, we trace the grounds for reflecting romanticism in Akhavan‟s poetry so that we find the reflection of romanticism in his Winter.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Concrete Poetry and It’s Varieties in Persian Poetry
Mohammad Javad Erfani Beyzaee and Zeynab Alipoor Keyvanlood
Persian Language and Literature Department, Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran
Abstract
Concrete poetry is a form of visual poetry which is known as imaginary poetry, in Persian language. We can
enter the genealogy of concrete poetry from two perspectives, First Persian acrostic Moshajjar and Mottayar
poetry, the other one is French poet, Guillaume Apollinaire lyrics, which is known to Cali grams.But the
systematic concrete poetry formed by poets such as Eugene Gvmanzhh, Gstvdh Pygmatary Campos and in
South America.In contemporary Iranian poetry, visual aspect of poetry considered by poets and different
varieties of this type has been created.
Unlike traditional poetry, which is dependent on words, elements of fantasy, metaphors and symbols, Concrete
poetry realization requires an understanding of the visual aspect of it, which is achieved through cooperation of
concrete elements and techniques.This kind of poetry has a direct relationship with exploration, understanding
and audience reception.In fact, it is the audience who makes and completes the work, by receiving the hidden
layer of poetry. The poet does not end the poetry,because the audience completes the text by exploring the
relationship between implicit and explicit and reading the unwritten parts.
In this study, we follow the historical discussion of concrete poetry,and the way it shaped, and how the poets
entered concrete poetry,and we try to present a new classification, according to the poems that have been
classified as concrete.
Keywords: Concrete poetry, Visual poetry, Image, Contemporary poets
I. Introduction
Regarding to the creation of poetry and the way
it transfers to the audience observing text is not
necessary. Because of this characteristic of
poetry,poetry was contributed mouth to mouth in all
population of illiterate and literate people, in periods
that writing instruments were rarely provided.Poets
read poetry in the streets of cities and villages, for
getting poetry delicacies, reading and listening
competence was sufficient, so writing and observing
the poetry was not necessary. But a kind of poetry,
which is known, visual or concrete, in addition to
conventional markers of poetry, benefits from the
other characteristics,which increase the eye
performance and share in the perception of poetry.
In other words, visual poetry, formed with a focus on
visual elements, which are made by basic materials of
poetry, words.In this study, we examine how the
facets of visual poetry formed.
1-1 Expressed concern
Concrete is a kind of visual poetry that stands
out of Oral and audio tradition of poetry. Poetry, both
in the old and the new definition, is always verbal art;
it means that the only sense involved in study and
realization of poetry, is the sense of hearing.But
concrete poetry wants to convey a role for eye to
transfer the concepts, by using geometric shapes.
In the traditional sense this type of poetry is
closer to the visual arts rather than literature.Indeed,
by well-known definition, this kind of visual poetry
made on various elements and their relationship
including elements in the two-dimensional space [1-
3].
Many efforts have been made to define Concrete
poetry in Persian language, we can refer to them by
visual or imaginary poetry.Althoughthere is no
independent entry for concrete poetry, in dictionary
of literary expressions, the author defines the visual
or concrete poetry in ‘written poetry’. According to
written poetry definition: in written poetry,
poetrylines and rows arranged in a way that shape
aparticular form on the paper [1-5].Linage and the
arrangement of words is in the way that the poem
shape, reflects the theme and content.Furthermore,
the author links the writing poetry with visual poetry
by this explanation that: concrete poetry or visual
one, is more evolved form of writing poetry that was
introduced after World War II.In visual poetry rather
than specific geometric designs that were common in
poetry writing, poet represents each poem, with his
optional design theme, which is usually concrete
embodiment of theme (the same, 196).
Vahidian Kamyar, who has chosen visual poem
for the concrete, in concrete definition of visual
poetry writes:’A poem in which the order of letters
and words, is directly related to the concept of
poetry’ [6].
In an interview with Mohamed Hoghooghi,
Doctor Safarzade, contemporary poet and critic,
about the concrete poem says:In concrete poetry, the
focus is on decomposition of words and images, and

this is usually done with repetition and without
expectation, a certain meaning and concept derived
from the image.But by considering the meaning, I
believe that if something has to be considered and
titled as poetry, should provide a tangible picture [7].
1-1-1 The formation and historical evolution of
concrete poetry
In the study of history of concrete poetry, two
special literary styles in Iran and Europe will be
relevant. First we have to talk about Persian
Moshajjar and Motayyar poetry styles which evoke
the image, and at the same time according to the type
of writing, provide the possibility of different ways of
reading. An example of Moshajjar poem in the book
Almaejam fi Mayyer Al Ashhar quoted by Shams
Qais al-Razi, does not provide any serious image of a
concrete poem. As in Moshajjar or Motayyar poem,
The image of a tree trunk with branches on both sides
of the picture drawn, and then the lines will arranged
between the branches in a way that in connection
with embedded words in tree trunk, will be read in
various ways. In fact the image is not made of written
words, but the image first designed and then the
written text embedded in it [8].
1-1-2 Caligramme
Another example that can be considered in
historical evolution study of concrete poetry is
caligrammes of well-known French poet Guillaume
Apollinaire (1880-1918) that has similarities with
concrete poetry. Guillaume caligrammes concentrates
more on imaginary and visual poetry, and this is the
connection point to concrete poetry.
One of the most famous examples of
caligrammes is ‘Raining’. In this poem that is written
in five vertical rows in French, the letters of the
sentence ‘Raining’ are repeated alternatively, in the
five vertical rows to evoke Visual form of rain for the
reader [8].Persian translation of ‘Raining’ poetry
cannot show every aspect of this poem.
SinceApollinaire by using special changes
like,Changes in written form and letters size, drawn
each letter as a drop of rain that evoke constant
‘Raining’ very well.
Because of several reasons, visual poetry can be
separated from Apollinaire concrete poetry and as,
except only one or two instances, the rest of the
poems, just benefited the appearance of a concept or
a visual form of that.
Sometimes obtained image Consistent with the
poem title and does not help to get the meaning. In
fact, the poet conveys the intended meaning by the
words, and the image tries to figure out the same
meaning of a visual show. As ‘Raining’ poem that
words apparently show the rain, and the image
represents the same meaning in visual form. In fact,
the image does not consist of any new meaning and
message.
1-1-3 The first experience of concrete poetry in Latin
America
Apart from this concrete like experiences, it was
in Latin America, that for the first time, concrete
poetry was introduced with the same title. In early of
1950s,Eugene Gvmanzhh (Swiss-born poet living in
Bolivia) published the first concrete examples in the
Spanish-speaking Latin America press.
In fact Concrete existential philosophy, is a form
of protest against the Form-oriented and noble poetry
in Latin America and in the beginning was
critical.Social criticism and dealing with the
dominance of multinational corporations, was the
predominant content of the original concrete.
Following Gvmanzhh and some the poets of Bolivia
and Chile,a group of leading Brazilian poets, began
developing this method. In one of the
statements,concrete movement in Brazil, introduced
globalization as his ultimate goal [6-9].
Peak concrete must be searched in Gandres Noei
publications. Concretes in 1912, with the
establishment of Gandres Noei magazine, by
Campos, "Pygmatary and Agestude Campos
developed. The magazine title was loaned from of
one of Ezra Pond’s songs who with Apollinaire,
Kamingz and Malarme were the spiritual leaders of
this movement.Continuous magazine publishing and
printing young and famous concrete poems, plays a
major role in the movement acquisition.
The point that should be considered is that at the
Concrete prevalent era,in Latin America during the
fifties, Apollinaire became so popular worldwide and
mostly all of his works were translated to other
languages as Spanish. So, it is not imaginable that
concrete poets and theorists in Latin America, be
familiar with Apollinaire and have benefitted from it.
Nevertheless, in addition to the concrete poets who
began this movement seriously, a wave of poets
began this kind of poetry just to entertain and make
fun.Since the concrete poetry more than any other
literary style, consist of fancy in itself.
1-2 Research Necessity
Concrete poetry is one of those works that have
received less attention from critics and scholars, and
still concrete poetries in Persian language do not be
collected and the audience is forced to explore
dozens of contemporary poetry to get these kinds of
poetry.Recalling the need for collecting and
classifying concrete poetry in Iran, in this research,
we attempt to define the different types of concrete
poetry,and a number of concrete poems in Persian,
we'll put it analyzed. So concrete poetry schema will
be attained in contemporary era.

1-3 Literature
So far, there was not research on the types of
visual poetry in Persian language in the background
there is no reference source. But this paper attempts
with studying extracted samples, classify types of
visual poetry.
II. Discussion
As defined in previous parts, in Persian, concrete
poetry is generally translated visual poetry, and the
purpose is to set the vertical and horizontal
arrangement in a way to shape a geometric form,that
represents the theme of the poem as a visual
show.But this definition, consistent with the most
basic example of concrete poetry and does not
include the various types of concrete poetry.
Writing poetry representing geometric motifs ,is
the basic definition of concrete poetry.But in
developing concrete poetry, new techniques and
methods have been applied that all these experiences
back to the contemporary era .Moreover, in concrete
poetry, writing word formation, breaking and
splitting a word as well as techniques such as spacing
will be considered.In concrete poem, explicitly,
creating a new relationship with the reader and
Rupturing the constant concepts as myth, symbol,
metaphor and the other components of the poem are
considered as the poet's other goals.Unlike traditional
poetry, concrete poetry must be considered as string
of contiguous thoughts and of course to be a whole,
In other words, one can not draw a line of concrete
poetry as an example and outline its
components,because any line or sentence can not
reflect intended meaning of poetry separately.Each
line or paragraph, is only one element that in relation
with other lines or paragraphs or their repetition, plus
textual techniques such as spacing, Vertical writing,
batch scripting helps to build a concrete poem. Hence
the individual parts of the poem, regardless of its
visual poetry, can not be considered as a property of
poetry. By writing simply and not applying concrete
techniques, we will face a non-poetic and simple text.
2-1 Concrete poetry in Persian
In Persian language, Concrete poetry,
specifically formulated introduced by Tahere
Saffarzade for the first time, But before Saffarzade
and even after publication of her concrete poems,
some experiences in the field of the visual aspect of
the poem was made up. Although these examples do
not literally define concrete poetry, reflects some
concrete indicators and because of this, we will
discuss them here. Experiences of concrete poetry in
Persian language, regardless of Moshajjar and
Motayyar poetry, discussed in previous sections, is
limited to some incomplete examples. In Persian
language, what is classified in the row of concrete
poetry, before Saffarzade, being influenced by of
some concrete techniques, that are not completely
concrete.
2-2 Types of concrete poetry in Persian
So according to songs extracted, it can be said
there are two types of visual poetry. First poems that
completely reflect the definition, indicators and
components, or at least most of the concrete poetry
components are reflected in. These poems are divided
into two species that in continue we will discuss
about them. On the other hand, in search of concrete
poetry in Persian poetry, encounter poems that used
some concrete components, but not classified as
concrete poem totally. In these poems, usually one of
visual components used and these experiences make
a little part of a complete poem. In these poems,
phonetic and lexical arrangements and of course the
arrangement of the lines displays a form represents
the content of a poem or semantic component. To
convey meaning, poem is not dependent on the
provided form, and the image obtained by the
arrangement of words and verses, gives visual aspect
to the poem.
As Esmaeil Shahroodi poem ‘unity’that visual
aspect used just in two verses and the rest of the
poem is like an ordinary non-visual poem. In this
poem that can be considered as an elementary
example of concrete poem, in fact, to transfer deeper
meaning to audience, the written form of the poem
matches with the meaning.
I
To the wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidth of the ground
Was Plaintiff
You
To the wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidth of the ground
Were thoughtful
The word ‘with’ written wider, to show with concept
by the shape, and gives the visual aspect to the
meaning. This approach, showing the physical aspect
of the words, in fact is one of the visual common
techniques in Persian poetry that relates to words
meanings. Like Fragmentation and vertical writing
such as go, drip-drip-drip and…
In connection with this technique, we can refer to the
poem by Hamid Mossadegh, the way of writing
‘river’shows the bending position of some one.
Went
Look at the end of the road
She was
On the Fence
Bending
On
Ri

VeeeeRrrrrrr (Mosaddegh, 1386:95)
Another example is the part of Esmaeil Shahroodi
‘Endless Poem’, in this poem the poet by applying

fragmentation and vertical writing technique, reflects
the physical shape of trunk and the pendulum clock
in visual aspect.
I don’t believe it more,

By considering above-mentioned examples,
applying just one technique of visual poetry does not
lead to complete visual poetry. None of these
mentioned examples can classified as concrete
poetry, because they are just a part of poem and they
cannot be considered as complete poem.
While in definition of concrete poetry, the
emphasis is on indissoluble whole. These samples
show the influence of some concrete elements, all of
them focus on synchronization of visual and semantic
level of word.
A part from these concrete like examples, we're
dealing with the whole poems, reflect concrete poetry
definition.This sort of concrete poetry is divided into
two main types:
In one kind of concrete poetry, words and letters
without any imaginary companionship, reflects the
intended meaning, In this type, you can get the
meaning just through hearing. At the same time, this
kind of poetry has an imaginary approach that shows
the meaning transferred by the words.In other words
visual poetry is complete, without the help of any
image, and the audience can receive desired meaning,
through lyrics.
Such a poem is like Firooze Mizani poem that
shows Cross, through written form. In this poem, the
cross is not the core of the poem, and at the same
time, getting the meaning, does not require image
exploration, but the arrangement of whole lines and
verses represents the cross picture that in a way
matches with the poem theme:
Get
Down
Me
From dirty cross
Dead
Patient
No proof
With
forelock
White
Confused
The poet writes the first sentence vertically
below, And fourth line is slightly longer than the
other lines, in a way that Vertical and horizontal axes
represents the cross. The only visual technique
employed in this poem, is the integration of
horizontal and vertical axes, so that in the end,
conveying the image of the cross.
Another example of this kind of concrete poetry
is Safarzade’s poem:
Here
Everyone
Asks
Where
Are
You
From
Technique employed in this poem, spacing and
integration of vertical and horizontal fractions, which
ultimately helps to deepen the meaning of the poem.
Words are written with spaces.These distances evoke
the distance and alienation, and in fact the shows the
depth of the title of the poem ‘Roam’. Another point
that may be involved in the meaning of the poem,is
that the time of writing this poem, the poet, is in the
United States of America. Finally, by the distance
embedded in it, the meaning of loneliness and
alienation of the reader / viewer is induced; the space
between ‘Here’ (the roam that the poet is living in it)
and ‘Every one’ (Americans who have no relation to
the poet) and annoying question: where are you
from?
The first line, located in the center and not in
margin, shows the dominance and focus of ‘Here’
and the people who lives ‘Here’.
The distance between here and the poet, is better
shown in contrast me and every one. Poet who is
constantly exposed to the question, has not any
significant presence, the only indicator of her
presence, is connected pronoun that is non-pivotal
complement, deliberately attached to the verb.
The main question of poem written vertically and
is like a Sledgehammer, always comes down to the
poet.
Where

From
Another aspect of visual poetry, represented in
the overall picture that emerged from the
arrangement of words. In Explanation we can refer to
how the arrangement of words leads to reproduce the
image of the cross. We can explain the Connection
between of the poem theme and the cross image, is
like a cross for audience.
Another example of concrete poetry, which
seems to define more precise concrete poetry, is more
dependent on the image rather than words. In fact, the
perception of this poetry, require visual elements.
Alone, without the image, no message will be
obtained,Or at least they do not seem complete
without an image.In fact, this is the image that gives

the property of poetry to written text, and of course
gives deeper effects to the meaning. Because, the
image is a part of meaning transfer.In other words,
the image made of words, is carrier of the meaning,
that would not be achievable without image.
Roundtable generosity
Roundtable generosity is one of Saffarzade
concrete poetries. In this poem, entirely in the realm
of concrete poetry, the major part of the poem theme
will be transmitted through visual devices to the
audience.Through repetition and arrangement of the
words, but in an unusual way, the image of table
obtained that shows some people are around it. In the
center of the table, two words ‘I’ has been put in a
way that reflects the image of table, which some
people are around it.The Messages is completed with
the support and cooperation strains and has
overlapping functions in humorous poetry. A table
made of repetition of the word ‘I’ can also be a title
of the roundtable. In other words, what is on the table
and talk turns about is ‘I’ and all the people around
the table named ‘I’. The sum of these functions in
this poem suggests that the main message is self-
centered and dictatorship. Another way that relates to
visual poetry, in the table made of ‘I ‘represent Nazis
and Adolf Hitler fans. It seems that the effect of
Hitler's dictatorship has been criticized.
Permutation
Permutation is one of Saffarzade concrete
poems, which is due to the type of writing, provided
the possibility of dual reading. If poetry is read from
top to bottom, Separation and distance will be
obtained. It means that we and he, who were together
and shared the same way, separated from each other
now, and the way they are going ahead, more
distance gotten. But if the poem was read from the

bottom up, the exact opposite meaning of the first
reading is obtained. He and us, Meet at a point and
the distance between them disappears.
As seen in the given examples, various concrete
methods and techniques used to form the visual
aspect of poetry. Among the most important
techniques, repetition of the words or lines, breaking
and splitting a word, words and lines arrangement for
image formation can be mentioned.Of course, in each
concrete poetry, one or two techniques maybe be
used and in some concrete- like poetry, just a part of
poetry has the visual property.
Another characteristic of concrete poetry is the
multifaceted nature of its interpretation, as through
saving the usage of words and deletion punctuation
and edition marks, poet provides multiple readings
possibility. Spacing techniques without any edition
marks, leads to make white spaces and more reader
participation in the creation of implications. In this
context the passive and consumer role old audience,
changes to the active reader and a new definition of
poetry will be emerged. The poem is not a packed
good with pre-determined meaning.
As seen in the examples, the most perfect
example of concrete poetry in Persian language, are
Saffrazade poems. A Saffarzade concrete poem,
which has its followers in contemporary poetry,
including graphic poems of Fallah. Falah poems,
raises more recent aspects of visual poetry. What
distinguishes Falah poetry from the previous
examples is the usage of graphic art in organizing
poetry, poetry without the support and cooperation of
graphic, does not have perfect effect.
III. Conclusion
Concrete or visual poetry, is an art rooted in
European and Latin American literature. From this
perspective we can point to caligrams of Guillaume
Apollinaire and South America concrete
poems.Concrete poetry history in Iran is limited to
the contemporary period, in this regard is also
influenced by European and South American
poetry.What is known as concrete or visual poetry,
more like concrete experiences that does not fully
defines the concrete poetry. Just a few numbers of
Saffarzade poems can be classified in concrete
poetry.From this perspective, in contemporary
poetry, we face the experiences that use just one of
visual techniques for their works.The difference in
these kinds of poems with the concrete poems,is that
the visual poetry is used in only a short section of the
poem.Another kind of visual poetry, are those in
which, the arrangement of words or lines in the total
image is in a way that is consistent with the meaning
of a poem or a poem semantic aspects. The perfect
example of concrete poetry that we see in the records
of the Saffarzade,is the one that completed with
poetic words and images.The image made from the
words arrangement, vertical and horizontal scanning
wordrepetition, is a part of a poem that without them
message is transferred.
Notes
1-Hasan Honarmandi, For the first time in ‘Modern
Poetry Foundation in France’, found similarities
between Moshajjar poetry and caligrams of
Guillaume Apollinaire. In fact this book is one of the
first criticisms in comparative area, studying the
mutual effect and relationship in Persian and French
literature. To Apollinaire and its relation with Iran,
suggests this proposition that Apollinaire in
composing caligrams, considered Persian Moshajjar
and Motayyar poems. He writes: it is natural for a
person who is knowledgeable in literature, to find out
some similarities between caligramms and Persian
Moshajjar and Motayyar poems. Maybe Apollinaire
who has composed caligrams and studied Oriental
manuscripts at the National Library in Paris, had been
affected by Persian works.
2- Caligramms is a kind of Visual poetry that
Guillaume Apollinaire known as its inventor. In fact,
caligramms is a kind of visual poetry that the
arrangement of lines and words is in a way which
finally gives the image that reflects the theme of the
poem. For example, in the dagger eaten pigeon poem,
the alignment and spacing between words and lines,
the image of a dove with wings open obtained.
