You’ve heard of Magnetic Poetry right? These are little kits that come with over a hundred magnets in each set. On one magnet is one word. The objective is for you to put the words together to form a poem. You can stick the magnets on your refrigerator door, your office desk, even while you’re in the loo. The point is inspiration can strike anywhere! Magnetic Poetry is a terrific way to exercise those brain cells and compose poetry in a different way.
Magnetic Poetry is now online. It’s terrific. I’ve tried composing poems during lull moments in my office hours. The truth is I really do write poetry and my journals (online and real notebooks!) are proof of that. I don’t own a kit so Online Magnetic Poetry has made it accessible to me.
I’ve put up my own online magnetic poetry blog called Poetic Puzzles. It’s all about cutting and pasting what I composed via their website. The poem loses its charm if I just write on paper what I put together online. Take a look at it and you’ll see what I mean.
So go ahead, try it out! If you want to share your poetic puzzles, let me know and maybe we can even create a community out of it. Have fun!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
