As part of our story Max's Words in our Journeys reading series, we had to create
concrete poems, or poems that are written in the shape of their topic. They're perfect for any writer because they don't have to have any rhyme or rhythm and they can be any length! Here are some examples I used to show the kids.
Since we were very busy that week, we didn't create them until last week. I asked the children to pick a winter theme so we could use them for our winter bulletin boards. Here they are!
My favorite way of creating concrete poems is to use
Tagzedo. Check out this penguin from the gallery!
