What is computer poetry?
Well the answer is simple. Computer poetry is any poem that is created with the help of the computer and its unique tools.
Some poets use the computer to add graphics or to change to the layout of a poem. Computer poetry is a 'visual' experience, therefore computer poets like to experiment with the 'look' of the poem.
Computer poetry is fun, yet it also requires the effective use of the computer (and its tools) in order to create a meaningful message or idea.

The examples come from two sources -- Themes on a Journey (editor James Barry) and my classroom. |
