Concrete poetry

Imagine that you are coloring with your crayons and you draw a picture of a dragon, but instead of coloring in the dragon with just one color, you use all different colors to fill in the shape of the dragon. You can also make the words on a piece of paper look like something, like turning the letters into the shape of an animal or a tree.

That's what concrete poetry is! It's a special kind of poetry that uses words to create pictures or shapes that mean something. Instead of just writing words in a straight line or a paragraph, concrete poetry tries to make the words look like something else. It's like drawing with words!

So, if you were to write a poem about a bird, instead of just writing "The bird flew high up in the sky," you could write the words in the shape of a bird with its wings spread out. It would still mean the same thing, but it would also look like a bird, which is pretty cool!

Concrete poetry is a fun way to use your imagination and creativity to make your writing look more interesting and exciting.
