Fun with Wordle - The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe
Well I’m even later to the wordle party than the BionicTeacher. You have to love the creativity of the Internet crowd. I’d love to see other long poems like Leaves of Grass or even Paradise Lost done this way. Okay I’m going to try to do the leaves of grass. Its so long I wonder if the wordle java applet will handle it. I’ll post a comment and let everyone know if it works.
If you are wondering, I got the text to The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe off the Gutenburg Project site.

Update: I added to my Wordle gallery The Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles (the book that inspired The Secret and the Law of Attraction LOA concepts) and Paradise Lost by John Milton.
