poetry poems are familiar to many teachers, i.e., poetry that looks like the topic it is addressing. Since giraffes are my favorite animal, I like to show Valerie Worth's poem "Giraffe." I display it on the overhead projector (and yes, you can still find them in many classrooms) - out of focus so that the words are not readable. I ask students what animal seems to be represented. I may get poetry a number of guesses - but eventually, if not right away - someone says, "giraffe." Then I bring the words of the poem into focus and we poetry enjoy the poem and its shape. Students are anxious to try their hand at writing and designing a poem where the shape and the words work together.
