Central axis poetry denotes poems with a striking print: the poet centers sentence sections, combines words into long or short lines, places individual words in the middle of the line and gives them special weight. When reading or speaking, this results in a rhythmization of the language and a sometimes surprising weighting of individual parts of sentences or sentence fragments. The words that lie on the central axis are given special weight. The word groups are lined up associatively. Punctuation marks are also not always used according to common punctuation rules. Three points can also form a line. You can find these visually striking poems (they look like axially symmetrical plants) z. B. with Christian Morgenstern and Arno Holz and in the present especially with Paulus Böhmer . The use of graphic elements to design the meaning of a poem in Morgenstern and Holz can be seen as pioneering for concrete poetry, in which pictures in the actual sense were painted with words and sentences or letter combinations were onomatopoeic giving meaning (Ernst Jandl, Eugen Gomringer).
