Shaping your thoughts: writing shape poetry

Shaping your thoughts: writing shape poetry

Greetings, fellow poets! It has been more than a little while since my last poetry blog post, and my only excuse is that university and various commitments took temporary priority over writing. However, your local poetry blogger is back with a buzz of energy, and this month’s blog piece is going to be about shape poetry.

Writing with a shape in mind can give you something to hang your thoughts on, so can be particularly helpful for beginner poets. Just remember, shape poetry is not just for children or children’s authors!
