Reflectional Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

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.
