Desktop Poet is "fridge poetry" software for the desktop of your computer.
Desktop Poet presents you with your choice of hundreds of word tiles on your desktop or "virtual fridge" area. Compose imaginative prose by forming words into sentences or phrases or just take a break from the stresses of life, free your mind and doodle or brainstorm to your heart's content!
Poetry from the comfort of your PC or Mac
Put down the pen and paper! Welcome your poetry process to the 21st century. Desktop Poet takes advantage of the fact that it is on a computer to both increase the available vocabulary and decrease the number of tiles. The poetry software does this by allowing a single tile to have more than one word on it. Highlight the word, click escape, and see the variations of that word available to use. Want to define a word? Press the control key, select define word, and you will be taken to that specific listing at www.dictionary.com.

Use your own words or images to customize the virtual fridge, then view your poems in the screensaver!
Free your mind and imagination. Travel to uncharted territory.
Desktop Poet visually helps the brainstormer or novelist in you with clearer thinking, more imaginative projects, and better organized writing. Break through the writers block by easily expanding on your free flowing thought process. Use the poetry software to shift around key words to "see" what you are thinking. Find related words by pressing the control key, highlighting the applicable word, selecting define word, and you will be taken to that specific listing at www.thesaurus.com.
