SHAPE POEM
A shape poem is a poem that takes on the
shape of the thing you're writing about.
So, if you wanted to write a poem about
an apple, you could write it inside of the
outline of an apple, or you could write a
short poem and make the words the
outline of the apple.

3 ways in
interpreting a
poem
Theme: Poetry often conveys a message through
figurative language. The central idea and the subject
matter can reveal the underlying theme of a poem.
Language: From word choice to imagery, language
creates the mood and tone of a poem. The way
language is arranged also impacts the rhythm of a
poem.
Sound and rhythm: The syllabic patterns and stresses create
the metrical pattern of a poem.

Structure: The framework of a poem’s structure affects how it

is meant to be read. A poet sculpts their story around
stanzas, line breaks, rhyme patterns, punctuation, and
pauses.

Context: The who, what, where, when, and why of a poem

can help explain its purpose. Look at these elements to
discover the context of a poem.
 If- by rudyard kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
