starShape Poem

This simple shape poem, in just one rhyming couplet, includes examples of personification, metaphor and imagery in its figurative language.  Shape poems such as this are a great way to have fun with poetry.  If you like this example, look at my Teachers Page, Different Poem Forms, Shape poems for ideas and inspiration, as well as tips on choosing appropriate topics to make shape poems easier to do.  Bear in mind that a shape poem does not have to include rhyme and rhythm: that’s just my preference and style, so find what works for you.
