Poems Humorous
Unusual Poem Forms (The ESSL Children’s literature blog)
Poetry comes in many forms, including unique visual forms. The books of poems
in this list vary from acrostics to concrete and multi-voiced poems. Concrete
poetry is also sometimes referred to as visual poetry. Try a few of these
books out and then have fun making your own visual poems!
Definitions:
- Acrostics: The first letter of each line spells out a word or message.
- Concrete Poems: The shape of the poem is important to the poem.
- Macaronic verse: words in two or more languages are interspersed in the
poem.
- Multi-voiced Poems: these are meant to be read aloud by multiple people.
Each person has a separate part to read.

**Outside the Lines: Poetry at Play**. 2002.
Here are twenty-two concrete poems in motion! When it comes to poetry, why
shouldn’t words leave their sensible rows, like kids at recess, to run, jump
and glide across the page? Follow the path of a Frisbee, paper airplane or
firefly. Told in the voices of children, these concrete poems rhyme.
