Wocky Jivvy Logo: Poetry and Art "When the flush of a new-born sun fell first on Eden's green and gold,
Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mould;
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, "It's pretty, but is it Art?"
from Rudyard Kipling's The Conundrum of the Workshops

To Do To Read
* Poetry Collaboration: In the true spirit of the Web, comes the Poetry Collaboration.

We, Wocky Jivvy, provide the title. You, the travelers here, provide the text of the poem. Everyone is welcome (and encouraged) to participate -- whether a poet is well-published or is just starting the poetic journey, her poetic contributions are welcome here.

* Poems of Acclaim: Favorites from Shakespeare, Kipling, Dickinson, Longfellow, and the ever popular so much Moore...with the occasional twisted graphic thrown in for oddity's sake.
* Download Copyright free collections: Zipped collections of poems available for download include: Browning, Dickinson, Lear, Khayyam, and Wheatley.
* Cracked Classics: A bit of a parlor game based on rewriting classic poetry from a list of words you create by answering questions we provide (they're easy questions, for example, " What's your favorite color?" or "Give one word which describes your hair").

We can't say that it's anything more than outrageously silly, but we find that quality quite enough to warrant its presence at Wocky Jivvy.

* Poems of Shame: The poems presented here represent one woman's attempt to write something that the austere judges for the National Library of Poetry would deem so horrible that they could not, in good conscience, bestow the status "semi-finalist". Her quest is valiant, though, to date, unsuccessful.
* Poems of Cyberia: Poems about life online. We are currently accepting poems about Life in Cyberia. If you have a poem about life online, love online, anything at all online, submit it to us.
* Monthly Trivia Quiz: Test your poetry knowledge with this new Wocky Jivvy feature, the Poetry Trivia Quiz. We're hosting a new quiz each month, based on a theme. The theme for January is "The Classics".

So find out if you're a "PoetNot" or a "PoetLaureate" and see how you rank against your fellow Cyber Poets.

But please: No Wagering.

* Poems of Folly: A collection of humuorous verse including Little Willie, a hanging, a Sunbeam, and ashes.
* Poems by Claire: Poems by the author of this site.
* Monthly Challenge: Wocky Jivvy hosts the Monthly Poetry Challenge -- not a contest, not any sort of competition, just a way to stimulate some writing and to stimulate a bit of fun.

Check out the challenge and stretch your poetic skills by writing a poem that fits the challenge requirements.

The Monthly Challenges are open to anyone and everyone -- and we'll be absolutely delighted if you choose to post your poetic response on our Poetry Board.
