Here’s an examples from one of the masters of the form . . .
The Great Figure
by William Carlos Williams (http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/119)
Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
firetruck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city.
