Shape Poetry

Shape Poetry is also called Concrete Poetry

Shape is one of the main things that separates prose and poetry. Poetry can take on many formats, but one of them most inventive forms is for the poem to take on the shape of its subject. So if the subject of your poem is a tree, then the poem's lines would be written so that the poem appears to take on the shape of a tree.

Designing your own shape poem can be simple and fun, but try not to pick anything that would be too difficult at first.

example:
Halloween
