Welcome to my National Poetry Month project for 2026, where I am playing with poetry by generating poems in playful ways. Today's poem was inspired by the Magnetic Poetry Kit: Revolution Poet.
Magnetic poetry involves creating poems by arranging word magnets on a magnetic surface. The Revolution Poet kit contains more than 200 themed magnetic tiles.
I laid out all the tiles on my sister's coffee table (I'm traveling!) and then selected interesting words until I arranged them into a poem. Here's what I came up with.
we rise together
organize
a movement in the streets
raise our voice
stand strong against
tyranny
hate
a mighty force for
peace
justice
we love this country too

Yes! Yes! Yes! Something about reading this in the tiles makes me think about the many wonderful protest signs I see, reclaiming the flag and patriotism as a way to show this love. xo
