"PoeTrio" coaches you through the processes for writing three kinds of verse: free verse, "cantonas," and haiku.  Highly interactive, it contains three separate programs, each with its own editor.  Educational and entertaining, for all ages. Using the haiku program, you're given an explaination of what a haiku is. You then select a season then decide which of the 3 lines you want the computer to write for you. You write the other two. You can save and edit your finished product. Even if you don't consider yourself a poet, give this a try. You'll be amazed at what you come up with. 

Version 1.1 previously available online was a shareware program. With the release of version 2.0, the author has reclassified the progarm as freely distributed. Enjoy!
