Graphematic poem or shape poem or pattern poem, like any other poem, is a poem that discusses diverse and common subjects like love, idea, time and many other topics ; yet with a certain difference that is the subject is similar to the printed format of the text. To say that it presents a picture of certain familiar object that is similarly the subject of the poem. Such poems are likewise termed shaped verse. They are not new for they are part of a long convention that ranges from Alexandrian Greek poets to Lewis Carroll and beyond. John Hollander(1929 –2013) is an American poet who wrote pattern poetry with a variety of diverse themes . His Types of Shape (1969) offers twenty-five shaped poems in the convention of George Herbert, a seventeenth century English poet. Graphematic poems must also to a certain degree own their special self-reflective picture in so far as the shape as well as the content are concerned. They show a wide array of themes and Hollander's graphematic poems show fascinating investigates with unbending forms that undermine the authority of his writing. Hollander in uniting content and form supports creating one authoritative outcome in the field of poetry.
