I found this lovely Wordle gadget over at Tim Green’s blog. Of course, I had to try, so I plugged in my work-in-progress book of poems and just as Tim says, the simile is one of the most used devices in poetry.

For those who are curious, I used the Mac’s Grab application to take a snapshot of the window and then cropped out the extraneous details, resulting in the lovely .jpg you see above.
