Interactive poetry refers to forms of poetry in which multiple people can interact and create the work together, or that allow for interaction by the reader of a poem. A simple example of an interactive format for poetry is the magnetic word tiles that can be placed on a refrigerator or other surface. By moving these tiles, different words can be combined by different people to make a variety of phrases and poetic expressions. There are also forms of interactive poetry that can be created in an interactive and digital medium, which can allow a reader to interact with the poem beyond simply reading it.

The idea behind interactive poetry is typically to allow poets and readers to interact with the creative medium. Magnetic word tiles, for example, provide poets with the ability to create phrases and poems quickly and in an unusual and interactive way. These types of tiles have even been re-created in various computer programs and websites, providing poets with the ability to create unique phrases and poetic lines through a computer application. Some of these sites then allow a poet to display his or her interactive poetry for others to see and potentially interact with.
