Notes

I wanted to try shape poetry again, and I have to say this was MUCH harder than .leafing

https://hellopoetry.com/poem/2633672/leafing/

It took forever to align the slashes to give this poem shape, without them it didn't look like an hourglass.

I hope you liked this poem and I'd love it if you commented some links to any shape poetry you've tried out.

Hope you enjoyed :)
