Poetry Exploder.

A magnetic-poetry board that writes you a rough first draft. Pick a form, hit generate, and a scattering of words lands on the board shaped loosely like that form. Drag them wherever you actually mean. The rhymes and the metre are a suggestion, not a promise.

Lengths and near-rhymes come from words the bank has tagged by hand — not real syllable-counting, not real metre. If a line runs short or long, that is the system being honest about its limits.

NOTHING GENERATED YET
The board

Nothing here yet. Generate a poem above, or drag a word in from the shelf on the right.

Drag a tile to move it. Focus a tile and use the arrow keys to nudge it, or Delete to remove it. The board scrolls — there is more space than you can see.
