Got to hand it to Read Write Think....these Poetry apps are perfect, especially in April, when we celebrate National Poetry Month! The step-by-step directions to create the various types of poems make it so incredibly easy for students to get their creative juices flowing...and quickly!
Theme Poems - Select an image from a variety of shapes. Brainstorm words about the image. Create your poem. Easily upload and print...and away you go! Perfect for K-friends & up!
Acrostic Poems - I like how this site explains the dynamics and mechanics of the poem and gives examples before getting the user started creating. The Acrostic Poem app is fun for 2nd Graders and up! Students like to create poems with the letters of their name, favorite sport topic, hobbies and more. It's a win-win!

Diamante Poems - These little gems are a bit trickier to create. Luckily, RWT helps students frame up the diamond shaped poem - nice that it gives confidence and helps them feel success when their masterpiece is complete!
Word Cloud programs are great for those students that enjoy creating with words or have brain freezes getting started. ABCYa!'s Word Cloud is not only simple, but the end product, no matter what template, color, font and more...it always comes out looking brilliant! A great program hands-down!
Kids Magnetic Poetry Kit - Magnets on refrigerators always remind me of my own home where we like to leave magnetic messages for each other - love messages, funny stories, jokes and more - it's fun...and so is this program! This is so incredibly easy and contains loads of words...all kid friendly! (Thank you very much!)
Enjoy April! Enjoy Spring! Enjoy Poetry! Enjoy Everything! (Insert smiley face here!)
