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....
