“You can paint a picture on a page with a single word”

I love the way that these poems are shaped in different ways. I love how it states that poems are like word paintings and I just overall think this is very unique!

I would love to use this poem book during a poetry unit to give students inspiration of how to write and show poems. Also it would be fun to read to students during the day

The poems in this collection are all concrete poems. The words of the poems come in different shapes and sizes. It shows children, and any reader, the different ways that poems can look. It has a variety of topics and lengths of poems as well.

A poet uses words like colors to paint pictures inside your head.

I would use this book to introduce concrete poetry to students and inspire them to make their own concrete poems.

Such a fun book filled with concrete poems! Each poem is laid out in its own unique way to match the title and purpose of the poem. This would be a good way to introduce students to concrete poetry and how to create concrete poems.

I love "Poetry Speed Dating!" #NationalPoetryMonth #poem #poems #poetry

Concrete poetry! This poem is of course titled "Clock." This is a simple, cute book with some clever poems (My favorite is "Flight" about the Wright brothers.)

First reaction: I love concrete poems but, quite frankly, I was a bit disappointed by this collection. Whereas other books with examples I offer my students are full of winners, this one only has a handful of great ones. ⭐️⭐️

Second reaction: It's not so bad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

My daughter and I love poetry books. This one was on the new book shelf at the library. I might need to add it to my school library.
