Replying to a comment on:

Concrete (Concrete) by beakism

The builder lays his tools on the ground And calls for his mates, a booming sound His mates pour cement into the mixer A woman comes along and the builder kicks her Because women don't belong on a building site They should stay at home and keep out of sight The builder and his mates pour gravel in the cement They push a mate in because they found out he was bent The mixer turns round at a steady rate While waiting for it to finish, the builder leans on a gate Finally the mixer's finished and the job is complete The builder has a load of freshly made concrete.

A Concrete poem is a conglomeration of words (sometimes one word repeated over and over) whose overall shape is a key to the concept it presents. There are no truly agreed-upon conventions, but a natural elegance of arrangement is often striven for.

Sometimes the poem can be read in multiple directions from different starting points, depending on the shape of the form and the curiousity of the reader.
