==Calligram== {{seemain|Calligram}} [[File:Calligrammespo00apol.png|thumb|upright|Calligramme ''"La cravate et la montre"'' (1914), by [[Guillaume Apollinaire]], is an example of [[typographical]] poetry with the visual depiction of a tie and a watch. The pictorial effect of writing is an invitation to simultaneously process both the visual and verbal aspects of the poem.<ref name="Shingler_2011"/>]] A calligram is a text or [[poem]] of a type in which the words or letters make up a shape, particularly a shape connected to the subject of the text or poem.
