you flatterer! but, yeah, I did experiment with it a bit - last week in class we were talking about "projective verse" which was the brainchild of this man called Charles Olson - the idea of projective verse is that it uses space as well as line to communicate, and also that the structure of the poem should come directly from the subject matter, not be received from outside like a traditional poem form. It's quite a cool essay he wrote describing it called Projective Verse (there's also a little bit on Wiki about it and him and the school he helped found, the Black Mountain poets).
