shape poems

This is a challege. This is obviously an elementary school activity, but you need to raise the level of sophistication. Use this activity to challenge yourself in the areas of metaphor, simile, imagery, and diction. Be sure to print your poem and give it to me. THIS IS BEING GRADED!!!Good luck!

Once you have created a basic shape poem, try writing another kind of "shape" poem where the layout of the poem reflects the meaning or feeling you are trying to convey. Use the following poem as an example. You must write at least two of these poems. Post your advanced shape poems to your blog by the end of the period.
