Are there any tools that can help with writing poetry?

I think if you're looking around for tools to support the writing of poetry then the Roger's Thesaurus is not bad. This is because, if you are trying to find a word for being dismayed, and you look up dismayed in the Roger's thesaurus, then you can see twenty other words there. The advantage of Roger's is it's got kind of the negative affect. You say, well, I don't want any of those words and you suddenly think, I want the word "sad", because it actually works better because you've got a few s's in that line. That's a good trigger I think, Roger's Thesaurus. Rhyming dictionaries are handy if you're looking for rhymes. I often think the best tool is just a book of poems. So, you open the book of poems and you say, hey, wow, I could write about something a bit like that. It's nearly always done the job for me.
