One of the most popular features on the old shakespeare.com was the Poetry Machine – a kind of virtual Shakespeare Magnet Poetry collection that selects magnets for you in the approximate frequency the words appear in Shakespeare’s works. To rearrange them, just drag them around with your mouse.

If you come up with a really good poem using this feature, why don’t you let the rest of us know about it by submitting it via the Comments form.

treacherous Polyxenes
