A shape is also called a concrete poem. It is a poem that after being written is arranged or shaped into an image related to the topic or the theme of the poem. A poem about violence might be shaped into a fist or a gun. A poem about kindness might be shaped into a heart. Shape poems may be typed or may be hand written. They may also include illustrations or colors that are added after the shape poem is written and arranged onto the page.
