Just explored some apps on iPad mini. 

Surprised to see how technology has affected poetry. 

Loved some of the apps. Feels like I discovered the poet inside me ;)

The apps that I used to create poetry are:

VISUAL POET:

This is an application for creating visual poetry. The user of this app can combine images and text to generate mixed work of art.

This app creates fun 3 panel visual poems.

The poem that I made using this fun app:

Poetreat:

Poetreat is an app that suggests rhymes as you write. It will suggest best available rhymes and also provide syllable count for each line. Even you can connect Poetreat to different social networks and applications.

Here is my poem from Poetreat: The numbers on left indicate syllable count.

4 Days follow night

4 sight of a knight

7 who serves his sovereign

4 caution dark souls,

4 consoles my soul 

Versus Poetry:

This app provides the user with word mixing possibilities. It helps in creating a poem out of one’s own personal mix of dictionaries. After creating the poetry it can also be shared with friends via email or facebook. 

My poem from Versus app:

Rattlesnakes:

This app allows its users to click on a blank green screen. When, the screen is touched it gives random words and than generates a poetry using those and many other words. Also when a word is dragged it generates a snake looking structure that is formed of words. I think the name Rattlesnakes is given to the app because the words moving on the screen resemble to a snake moving in the forest.

Visual Poetry

This app allows the users to make text collages. When a user types a text or phrase it is arranged as a mosaic into different shapes that the user selects. It also provides the user with an option to draw his/her own shape. The words can be arranged in the shape by rotating, zooming in or zooming out. The final result resembles a concrete poem.

 Instant Poetry-2

This app is a fun poetry making app that allows the poet to create a visual poetry bu using background images from either their own photo gallery or using social networking websites. This app is a mix of versus poetry app and visual poet app. Poet can use words provided to them and arrange against a background image of their choice. Here is a poem that I made using this app, it it is dedicated to my  MOM and the bond we share even though we stay far away from each other.
