Poetry Pal is an assistant that helps you check syllable, rhyme, and meter for various poem forms.
Poetry Pal makes it simple for the beginning poet to get started. It gives you templates for various forms of poetry (haikus, sonnets, etc.) and checks the lines you type in against the requirements for that poetry form. It will check that you have the correct number of syllables, that the right words rhyme, and that stress is placed on the appropriate syllables (when required).
Beginning poets can get confused about the requirements of different forms of poetry, as it's always harder to learn something through abstract descriptions than through practice.
Poetry Pal will evaluate and correct an aspiring poet's poem line by line and word by word, giving them detailed feedback on what they're doing wrong (and right) at every step. This gives them practical and immediate examples of what they need to do to meet poetry rules.
"If Poetry Pal can reduce the number of terrible first poems written by even 5%, the world will be a vastly better place for our children." - Christina Holland
Poetry Pal is free and easy to use. All you need is a web browser.
"I used to think iambic pentameter was the device that Scientologists use in their free tests, but now I'm writing sonnets like a pro!" - a satisfied customer
