I think this is one of the "common" forms I've never been able to write, it's just so hard. I've seen people on PnQ write long poems in this form and I just am in awe. I can't do it lol, so I applaud anyone who tries. I love formed poetry and you seem to be writing and/or experimenting with a lot. :) It's nice to see writers branch out and try new things!

The poem itself was really good. The restrictions I feel make it hard to sometimes say exactly what you want, and I wish you could use variations of the words. Shaped the first time makes sense, but shape would be better the second time around to create a stronger effect I feel, but that's not the rules :/ lol. Anyway I think this was a really great piece, especially for your first time with this form. Nice job!

Great poem, as usual you have really grabbed the reader. You can easily turn a simple poem into a masterpiece. I love this one because although it is simple and short you explain exactly what a poem is and what it takes to create one, doesn't hurt that it's a poem in itself backwards.
5/5
Amazing job.
