Procedure, Part I:
- First, you must pick a theme: for example, let’s say you want to write a poem for Valentine’s Day, so your theme will be love.
- Next, pick a shape: following your theme of love you can choose a rose, a heart or even the letters L-O-V-E
- After that, get out two pieces of paper: one is for the final copy, so put it aside.
- With the other piece, write your poem. Do not worry about the shape yet, just write your poem.

How to write a poem?
• Again, following our example, you’re writing a love poem. Close your eyes and think about your partner or about different types of love: best friend, life, a pet…
• Think abou their qualities, what you love the most about them, why you are attracted to them. Maybe star at a picture of them for inspiration.
Whatever moves
your heart will make a
wonderful poem!

Procedure, Part II:
- Now you have your poem written, draw with a pencil the shape you chose before.
- You may have to play around with the shape so that your poem fits.
-Finally, add a photo or other colourful resorces to make it even nicer.
