What is a Crossword Poem?

Crossword poems are poems composed with words found in a single crossword puzzle. The "across" section of the poem uses words from the across clues. The "down" section uses words from the down clues. The "answers" section are words from the answer grid. The title uses words from any section.

I started the form in April of 2002 and composed over 600 poems using the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. You can view these poems at my website, hungrybutscared.com.
