- Most hypertext
poetry on the Internet relies on a basic formula; write a poem and link
from occasional key words to pictures or further explanation. To me
this takes away a large part of the freedom that a reader has to ignore
authorial intention and interpret a poem in their own personal manner.

creates a fantasy world in which you go looking for the poems in a kind
of gaming fashion, the poems are then presented in artistic text but
without links. I much prefer this presentation as it does give a new
experience of reading but without altering all the advantages of poetry.
- Bluesuburbia.com
combines art and poetry for the same reasons Blake etched pictures next
to his poems; to further express his poetry in a different form. In
many ways I would argue Blake was using an early form of hypertext poetry

has the advantage of using modern tools to not only combine art and
poetry but sound and movement as well.
- An interesting
journey with small pictures and wall graffiti introduces us to the poet’s
opinion long before we arrive at his actual poem. I read the journey
as part of the text, it reflects my journey into the poet’s mind,
travelling through metaphorical and actual corridors allows me to realise
his thoughts on a much deeper level than simply being presented with
a short piece of writing would.
