The online library holds more than 42,000 poems by 217 Australian poets. The poems on the site are fully searchable by poet, theme and form. You can, for example, search for an animal poem, a bush poem, a poem for kids, a friendship poem, a funny poem, a war poem or a school poem. If you feel like a ballad, a haiku, a parody, a sonnet or just a poem that rhymes you can find all those categories and more.

The poems can be accessed and read freely on the web or, for a small fee, readers can print the poems. Part of every fee is returned to the poets.
