Yeah, now that doesn’t make any sense – but that’s why Desktop Poet is so much fun! Just like those little magnetic tiles for the front of your ‘fridge that have been around since the 90′s, Desktop Poet turns your desktop into a “virtual fridge” area so that you can be as creative – and silly – as you want!
Whether, poet, novelist, playwright, educator, student or a person with a little time on your hands, Desktop Poet puts hundreds of words right at your fingertips. Move them around to create your poems, prose or to brainstorm. The tiles become a visual embodiment of the English language, freeing you to let your mind travel through uncharted territory.
This is no “shoot-em up” game. Desktop Poet assists younger kids grasp simple word structure in a fun way. Other kids can showcase their creative flair. Whether in the classroom or at home, kids can play with words and in the process – learn.
"If you took a survey of elementary, middle and high school teachers, I would bet you a million bucks that they would agree that correct grammar is a tool that has been lost along the way. The uses of spelling and grammar are not stressed enough in our society today. Good for you, Mariner Software and thank you for Desktop Poet."

You can increase the available vocabulary and decrease the number of tiles. A single tile can have multiple word variations. Highlight the word, click escape and, for example, picture becomes: pictures, picturing, pictured. Need more? Set backgrounds, colors and more, making Desktop Poet a creative wonder world.
Create your own word tile and add to the active word list. Choose an image from your hard drive and add to the active word list. You can even download alternative word lists from the Mariner web site!
Take your word tiles and export them as JPG, TIFF or HTML images and send them to your friends, family and colleagues. Even contribute your own poem for posting on our site or view
other customer contributions. Send your creations by sending a screenshot to info@marinersoftware.com and we may post them in our gallery.
