What are some poems that are experimental in the way that they're put together or formatted?
E.g. different colored ink/text, backwards, upside down, whatever
Does anyone know of poems that use different colored ink/text interestingly?
No that's gay

Not poetry, but House of Leaves did this.
I rather liked it.
Arguably the only one to do that sort of stuff with any measure of success is E. E. Cummings. Even then, I think he's very hit-or-miss. Generally speaking I think that messing with poetic format is just going to distract away from the substance and proper flow of a poem with a gimmick which amuses for a couple minutes and is soon forgotten. The whole purpose of a poem is to have its flow and rhythm remembered, which of course follow logically from the subject and deeper meaning, and so have the reader keep that deeper meaning in their heart forever. To fiddle with format too much is just to create a puzzle with words, and not a thing of the heart.

Not knowing how to capitalize or punctuate isn't experimental.

Thinking that cummings didn't know those things is pretty ignorant. He really did learn the rules before breaking them.
I think the anchor is pretty classy, I would pretend I'm fucking a pirate.

Honestly, "l(a" was what got me interested in poetry.
