by which the reader may or must contribute to the content, form, or performance of the work, thereby influencing the meaning and experience of the poem. Interaction allows a deeper or different understanding of the ideas explored in the poetry by allowing or forcing the reader to participate and influence the work and their experience of it.

Interactive poetry is limited to a digital medium as it cannot perform the same function in other media such as print, which limits accessibility. Interactive poetry can also provide a different experience with each reading or from reader to reader and so analysis of this type of poetry can be challenging as the experience is not static.

Examples of interactive poetry including The Jabberwocky Engine and the flash game Today I Die by Daniel Benmergui.
