This first one is called "Cheval". I think that it is just beautiful the way he captured the look and movement of the horse with just the placement of words.
This second one is called "L'oiseau et Le Bouquet". The group of flowers along with the bird look so pretty and I like the lines that he added in this one. I feel that with this subject being a little more delicate than the horse in the first one, that the lines are needed to give the picture he created a bit more stability.
This third calligramme is called "Eiffel". In this one he does not add any lines like he did in the previous one, but like in his "Cheval", I do not think that lines are needed. I like the way he wrote on the bottom right side of this piece even though I am not sure what it is. I just find it interesting.
In all three of these calligrammes as with the one in my first blog, Guillaume Apollinaire uses words to make pictures. I have do not know exactly what the say since my French is very limited, but I do not need to totally understand them to enjoy them. All four of these calligrammes are similar, the only difference is that sometimes he adds lines giving the picture that he is creating a little more substance. I love the idea of creating pictures with words and it would be something that I believe that I would enjoy creating in the future.
