Douces figures poignardées chères lèvres fleuries
Mya Mareye
Yette et Lorie
Annie et toi Marie
Où êtes-vous ô jeunes filles
Mais près d'un jet d'eau qui pleure et qui prie
Cette colombe s'extasie
Tous fransk artikel souvenirs dem naguère
O mes amis partis enstaka guerre

Et vos regards en l'eau dormant

Où sont-ils Braque et högsta Jacob

Où sont Raynal Billy Dalize
Dont fransk artikel noms titta mélancolisent
Comme des pas dans une église
Où est Cremnitz qui s'engagea

Invented by Guillaume Apollinaire in , a calligram is a poem whose verses are arranged to form a drawing related to the poem.
These graphic poems are a great way to improve your spelling, grammar and vocabulary. The calligrams offer a learning of the French language in a fun and creative way.
An art that develops your creativity
The term calligram was invented by Guillaume Apollinaire, but the drawings-poems exist since ancient Greece. It&#;s a very creative way to learn French through:
- Calligraphy because the design of letters influences the final work
- Poetry, which gives the calligram a particular rhythm.
- The ambigram. This discipline consists in playing between the drawing and the text to give a double meaning to the calligram.

Calligrammes
Poetry collection by Guillaume Apollinaire
For the type of artwork, see Calligram.
Calligrammes: Poems of Peace and War , is a collection of poems by Guillaume Apollinaire which was first published in Calligrammes is noted for how the typeface and spatial arrangement of the words on a page plays just as much of a role in the meaning of each poem as the words themselves – a form called a calligram. In this sense, the collection can be seen as either concrete poetry or visual poetry. Apollinaire described his work as follows:
The Calligrammes are an idealisation of free verse poetry and typographical precision in an era when typography is reaching a brilliant end to its career, at the dawn of the new means of reproduction that are the cinema and the phonograph. (Guillaume Apollinaire, in a letter to André Billy)[2]
