Concrete Poetry0A common source of inspiration for shape poems are

Concrete Poetry0 Choose a topic: your favorite animal, food, music, ANYTHING!

0 Write your poem. Simple is best, so stick to between 5-10 lines.

0 Choose a style: outline poem or drawing poem.

0 Lightly in pencil write your poem into the shape. 

0 Decide if you need to make your writing bigger or smaller in certain parts of the drawing, then erase your first draft and write out the poem again.  You can keep doing this until you are happy.

 0 Finally, erase the outline of your shape, so that it is just the words

from your poem left creating the image!  Now go over the words in pen, colored pencil, or marker.
