Here is one that I found in one of the many, many sketchbooks I found today. It is huge. I am not sure of shape poems are ever 100% successful, but I was probably engaged with some Kenneth Koch or some O'Hara and trying my hand. I did notice the riff off of Martha Collins' "What Words Can Do." I actually folded this one up and saved it, although some was a lot better than the rest.
But it would break / everything inside you / to know / what words can do.
