{July 10, 2009}   Feeling Poetic?

Haiku, Cinquain, Diamante…pick you favorite type of poem or none at all and explore this week’s site at magopo.com.

Most of us are familiar with the concept of Magnetic Poetry.  However, instead of needing a metal surface and an actual magnetic poetry kit, all you need is the play section of the webpage.

There you can choose a kit of words (artist, genius, office, poet, or romance) and pick a background surface to stick your words to.  You can make up your own poems or even look at poems that other people have saved on the site.

There is also a kids’ version.

Here is a “poem” I created after receiving my own actual magnetic poetry kit long ago…

he used his tongue on her skin
why you dirt she said want a slice of this
after a bruise the man staggered off
red and blossoming

Have fun, and feel free to share any poems you create!
