Poetry should always contain a message. It should leave the reader thinking. But today, poetry is just that- words. I want shape poetry. Poems with a point that get it across with their specific shape. Poems that impact so hard that they need no shape. Poems that can shape the world.
No boundaries. No limits. Any subject, any length. Bring it on.

Oh, dear, I think I interpreted this wrongly. Are we supposed to write shape poems? Or are we supposed to write poetry that expresses only something with its own definite shape--though not exactly written as shape poetry?

The contest started as only shape poems, but I decided that since it is called shape of impact that poems that are powerful enough to stand on their own could enter as well.

Dear me, I think I may have made a mistake too
Sorry I think I may have made a mistake here too. When I saw the name "shape of an impact" I thought of the impact of the Atom bomb on Hiroshima the shape of a huge mushroom the effects of a huge impact and the shape of it as it rose above the earth in thick deadly smoke. Sorry for wasting your time I now think that you were looking perhaps for a poem written in a shape like a round shape or trianular shape sorry I misunderstood what you wanted.
