As today we celebrate "Día das Letras Galegas", we are going to work on calligrams. A calligram is a poem, phrase or word arranged as an image related to the text written.
The first calligram was created by Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918), a French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist and art critic, who was also the first that used the word Surrealism. Most of his concrete poetry was collected by Mercure de France in Calligrammes (1913-1916) after his death.
Now, it's your turn to be creative with words. Starting from a poetry of your own invention in English, create your calligram.
