In concept of Free Web Poetry ‘Free’ refers to freedom of expression, connecting meanings and way of reading structured poem, ‘Web’ refers to online but also web-like structure, and ‘Poetry’ is from the Greek “ποίησις“, poiesis, a ‘making’ or ‘creating’.

FWP could be intriguing for writers and artists who like to make complex structures and use almost random writing. It is used by the creator for making cut-up / haiku poems, giving them also interactivity - poems change as reader clicks nodes of the poem.

How to use: download and install xebece (software developed by Roman Kennke). Write a short sentence or a word in each node, make connection to next node and keep on writing. Play with the structure and new meaning will arise.
