CALLIOPE

The Scriptorium

Paste a poem (blank lines separate stanzas) — or a single verse line — and Calliope will show you how it moves: which syllables carry weight, where the beats fall, what rhymes with what.

READ WITH THE EAR

meter is something you recover from pronunciation,
not something you stamp onto spelling.

Calliope reads a line the way an attentive reader does — working out how the words would be said aloud, and only then listening for the beat that saying settles into.
