Rectangle

I am a very special shape; I have four sides and four lines straight.

 Look beyond my words, and see the shape that I am destined to

 Be. I'm not just random words drawn out of thin air,   I am much

 More than that. I am a quadrilateral with four right angles and I

 Have two lines of reflectional symmetry and rotational symmetry.

 My angles are rectilinear; my sides meet at right angles. You

 Learn this at school with your ABC's, practice your studies and

 You will see some other fine examples of me.

This poem is so true and yes I do believe this is very concrete. This poem also encorages you to learn more about shapes especially for those who don't know much about maths. I never enjoyed maths at high school the only reason why I liked the lesson was because the maths teacher was DAMN HOT..blush.... This poem also takes me back to nursery when I first learnt to count and recognise names of shapes. I find this a great poem

What great description from the point of a rectangle.
I loved this!

Well, it's a rectangle, so that part is good. I feel like the rectangle is trying to be more than it is. An excellent form of personification as well concrete poetry.
