A poem organized on the page to visually represent the content
i am asking the same thing, but so far this is what i know.... a concrete poem is a poem which letters or words are laid out to picture a poem's content whereas a calligram is a poem in which the words are tracing the outline of the subject. eg a famous concrete poem is Alan Riddell's revolver poem and a calligram is for example the words for a poem about a cat shaped to outline a picture of a cat. hope that helps.

A poem that visually resembles some aspect of its content
In the poem "Sixteen Steps to the Ice House" by Ciaran Carson, concrete refers to the physical material of the steps leading to the ice house. The term "concrete" can also symbolize the tangible and solid nature of the steps, emphasizing their presence and solidity in the poet's memory or imagination. The use of concrete imagery in the poem may serve to ground the reader in the physical world and create a sense of realism or vividness in the description of the ice house and its surroundings.
It's very fragmented and uses concrete details.

I think a concrete poem has no rules at all it is just a shape
A shape poem is a poem that is shaped like any object. For example a poem shaped like a butterfly and then i put words around the butterfly's outline to describe the butterfly. So around it i would put flutter, wings, flowing, etc. That is what a shape poem is.

"Concrete Angel" is a song by Martina McBride, not a type of poem.

I was told by my English teacher that there are no rules or limits to a concrete poem but on the internet it said it was a shape poem! Anyhow, I don't think there's a rule for how many lines the poem has either way.
