Poetry Stretch: Ideogram

An ideogram looks at letters or numbers and tries to see what is in the shape.  What do you see when you look at the letters?

J hang onto the rope which swings over the lake
O the shape of ripples when you drop in
N  the swim slide is lots of fun
E  a kite with streamers flies high above

Check out The Miss Rumphius Effect has other examples of the ideogram.
