April is National Poetry month in USA. We don’t have anything equivalent in India, but when I saw The Picky Girl’s post on blackout poetry month, it reminded me that I needed to post about the snubnose’s efforts at poetry.
In her school, they encourage different forms of creative writing. Some of the more verbal/linguistically advanced wrote some lovely haiku, which I unfortunately missed to photograph.
The snubnose decided on a pictorial approach creating something she calls a shape poem.
Here’s a poem on watermelons, this was one of the first that she created:
And here’s my favorite one on planet Earth:
Btw, if you are thinking, what on earth is a shape poem, well, there’s more info on it here.
Thats nice!
A wonderful contribution to NPM! Beautifully drawn and colored too!
@Stefanie: Thanks for the compliments 🙂
SO COOL. I love this so much.
I loved shape poems when I was younger, too. Guess I’ve always enjoyed poetry that’s a bit more visual.
@Jenn: Oh, that’s so cool that you experienced shape poems. I never heard of them until the snubnose enlightened me 🙂
