“GET OUT OF MY SIGHT”
the stranger yells angrily
Slap,slap,slap
“EEEEEEK!”the teenage girl yells scaredly
thwack,thwack,thwack
“THAT TAUGHT YOU, YOU NASTY PIECE OF SCUM”
the old grandfather yells triumphantly
“Ooh look
mummy. Will it
taste nice?” The toddler
yells interestedly
Crunch, crunch
Gone.
This is a ‘concrete poem’ or ‘shape poem’, where the poem is laid out in a shape that has some relevance to the poem. The theme was animals, and the poetical device we were given was enjambment – basically, where the line breaks are, which was obviously very relevant to the form of poetry. I’ve attempted to give mine the shape of a fly! I found today’s prompt really challenging, until the idea of a fly came into my head and I decided to run with it (or should I say, write with it? ;)), despite flies technically being insects. I hope you enjoyed it!

It reads like a humorous poem for children, and adults love a bit of good children’s poetry. Lovely.
