Awesome!

This app is great! It's a fun way to read poetry and play at the same time. I'm not even a poetry fan necessarily but the look of this app is neat and it's fun to try and logic out what words come next. Fun for learning or just plain fun!
Knocked it out of the park!

This game has it all! Great graphics. Gorgeous interface. Non-annoying sounds which add to the whole interactive experience. Absolutely love the bells and whistles and keystrokes and the sound for the incorrect selection. And the best part is the app is highly intuitive.
Yes! Poetry makes a comeback!

I am thrilled with this unique app! Having grown up hearing and writing poetry, I now desire a convenient manner in which to pass on my love of poetry to my children. This app creates a fun environment for reading classic poetry. To pass the levels you must be somewhat familiar with the poem, it doesn't need to be completely memorized which is why I love this app! The clever "contraption" gears and sound effects draw you into the app and the challenge of passing levels keeps you reading and familiarizing yourself with great poems. Thank for this app!
Great for learning poetry

The app presents poems a line at a time with the words in random order. This really makes you think about the words in the poem. Great mechanical look and feel!
