Question: How to you write a Concrete poem!?!.!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

You can write concrete poems in any way!. They don't have to rhyme or have the same number of syllables!. Just start out writing about something symbolic or that expresses emotion!. Then, on the computer, create that shape on Microsoft Word!. If you are having trouble, then print out the words, paste them on paper in the shape of the object, and then use a copier and copy it!.

Let's say you are writing about something that makes you happy!. If you like basketball, then write a poem about basketball and make a ball shape!. It can be about anything from clouds to basketball to flowers to rain drops!.

Good luck on your poem!Www@QuestionHome@Com
