Introduction to Pongo's interactive poetry activities

You can write a great poem - even if you’ve never written a poem before!

Check out the activities in the list, find a theme that interests you, and have fun.

And if you’d rather create your own poem from scratch, choose the Blank Page
and be as creative as you’d like. We’d love to see what you can do!

Also, if you're interested, Pongo is giving a $50 prize every three months to a teen poem submitted on our site! We LOVE to see your work, and hope you’ll submit poems. It helps us to see what you like. We'll write back, too. But to be clear, we do not publish every poem submitted to us. We only publish prize winners and poems that fit current Pongo themes. So we hope you'll submit your Pongo poems elsewhere, as well!
