SHAPE POEMS!

I started reading this book about different forms of poetry. One kind of poem was a SHAPE POEM.
My friend just said it was the kind of thing people did in elementary school, but I still think its pretty cool. =)

Here's an example I found online:



My teacher for master class gave me an assignment to write a song according to a poem. Maybe these shape poems can help to dictate the shape of the melody as well? HmMm....

Duck Pond

So here are my lyrics for a PUNCHING opening line:


Please don't touch me
Or hold me too close
'Cause I'm far to frustrated from the bad sex
And unless you think you can kiss me and make me wet
I'd rather you just let me be....



That's just an excerpt I wrote from  an old song.  A little blunt. I could've been a little less blunt, but it got you hooked right? Maybe?  Got something better? SHOW ME!
