Who's the poem for?
Pick one and we'll tailor every question to them.
What's the occasion?
It sets the mood of the poem, and goes in its title.
Their name, and yours
Written exactly as you'd like it to appear on the poem.
We'll use it in the title and in the poem itself.
Add the number and we'll put it in the title.
We'll sign it off: "— With love, …"
Tell us about them
This is what makes the poem theirs. Answer any that bring something to mind, and skip the rest.
Quick picks are easier to answer, but they give us less to work with, so your poem will be less personal than one built from your own words. You can switch back at any time.
One small, specific detail beats five general ones. "Hums ABBA while she cooks" works better than "she's kind".
Pick up to three.
Pick as many as you like.
How should it feel?
Every poem rhymes and keeps a steady beat. This sets the mood.
How should it rhyme?
Pick a style. Rhyming couplets are what most people picture when a poem is read aloud.
3 to 16 letters. Each line starts with the next letter, so a longer word means a longer poem.
Nearly there. Where shall we save it?
We'll keep your poem safe, so you can come back to it later.
More ways to make it theirs Optional. Length, who's speaking, words to include, and what's printed.
