Paste plain words. Push the faders. Watch where the sounds start to rhyme, ring and repeat, then make it yours.
Sounds come from the Carnegie Mellon pronouncing dictionary (about 25,000 common words), so colors and rhymes follow how words are said, not how they are spelled. Names and rare words fall back to a spelling guess. Click any word in either poem to swap it; the bars show how strong each choice sounds in that spot. The remix fixes misspellings for you.
The mixer overdoes everything on purpose. Machines can stack devices; choosing which ones a poem needs is the writer's job. These drills build that judgment.
Pick one consonant sound. Write a plain sentence, then rewrite it four times, adding one more word with that sound each pass. Read all five aloud and keep the version just before it turns into a tongue twister.
Copy eight lines from a song or poem you like. Underline words that share a vowel sound and ignore spelling: sky, light, tide and buy all match. Paste the lines here with Assonance on to check yourself.
Set a three-minute timer. For one end word, list five perfect rhymes, five slant rhymes and two that match on two syllables, like flower and tower.
Write the stock version first ("cold as ice"). Then replace the second half with something only you have noticed ("cold as the subway handrail at 7 a.m.").
Choose something in the room. Write three lines where it acts like a person: what it wants, what it complains about, what it is hiding.
Write one feeling at three strengths: true, stretched and absurd. Keep whichever one makes a reader laugh or wince.
Take a simile and delete "like" or "as." Read it again. Notice whether it gets stronger or breaks.
Record one poem read slow, natural and fast. Listen back and mark where the slow version earned its pauses.
Turn on Breath marks above. Practice taking a full breath only at // and a half pause at /, then move the marks to where you would rather breathe.
Read once at a whisper, which exposes the consonants, and once projecting to the back wall, which exposes the vowels.
Push one fader to 10 and the rest to 0. The result will be wildly overdone. Rewrite it by hand, keeping only the moves you would actually make. The gap between the machine's version and yours is the lesson.
