To go out to play
In the month of May.

The Purple Cow

I never saw a purple cow,

I never hope to see one:
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

Picture Poem / SHAPE (or CONCRETE):

Picture poems / shape offer a visual

perspective on the arrangement of words,
and are therefore an effective means of
encouraging learners to
interact with the target vocabulary. By using
non-grammatical structures, students can
play with the language, producing visual
and verbal output.
One, ... two, A
thump ... thump, house
my heart beats for you can be tall,
across the room and we short, wide or thin,
come closer together with many rooms, or only
in the space a few. It can be
between home for all the
us family or simply
me and my pets.
 Shape poems are made up of words that have been
placed in such a way that they make the shape of an
object and also use words to describe the object.
 Start by making a simple outline of the shape or object (
an animal, a football, a fruit etc.) large enough to fill a
piece of paper.
Then brainstorm a minimum of ten words and phrases
that describe the shape. List action and feeling words as
well.
Next, place a piece of paper over the shape and decide
where your words are going to be placed so that they
outline your shape but also fit well together.
Separate words and phrases with commas.

You Raise Me up
When I am down and, oh my soul, so burdened be
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit a while with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountain
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
There is no life-no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think glimpse eternity
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountain
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

Free Verse

completely in the hands of the author.

Free verse poems are another type of poetry. A free verse

is the loosest type of poem. It can consist of as many lines
as the writer wants. It can either rhyme or not, and it does
not require any fixed metrical pattern. Free verse is
commonly used among writers because it allows for
maximum flexibility.
