Concrete or Shape Poem
A concrete or shape poem is a poem that forms a picture of the topic or follows the contours of a shape that is suggested by the topic. These can be used effectively with reports in science or social studies. In other words a concrete poem is one that takes the shape of the object it describes.
1. Think of some feeling (glad, sad, or mad is a good start), and begin to think of writing a poem about it.
2. But imagine that your poem is to be printed as a picture and that you can decide on the ideal shape for the poem.
3. The shape can be anything you want, as long as it has something to do with what your poem is about.
4. It might be easiest to outline the shape first, and then erase it, leaving a faint hint of the shape to guide you.
5. Popular examples are hearts and angel wings, clouds, waves and the shape of the number 7.
