Sometimes I hold on too long
And have yet to learn to let go
And take each step, continuous and slow
Take a deep breath, and watch the show.

ABAB, AABB, slant rhyme, internal rhyme... poetry vocabulary can feel like homework pretty fast. I wrote a visual guide to the useful bits: how rhymes sound, how schemes work, and when to forget the rules and just write.

Hear the difference between perfect and slant rhyme, read AABB and ABAB, and see eleven common schemes in simple diagrams.

I made Rhyma, a tiny poetry game. You write one line, but only see the line before yours. Then a stranger somewhere in the world continues it. The results are usually funny, weird, or both.

Collaborative poetry existed long before phones: folded paper, hidden lines, fixed endings, and poems passed from one person to the next. I wrote about seven ways people have turned poetry into a game, from renga and Exquisite Corpse to Rhyma.

I put together 50 prompts for writing poems with friends, writing groups, or strangers. They give you somewhere to start without deciding where the poem has to go.
My favorite: "The office printer knows one secret."

Can writing poetry be good for your mental health? I dug through the research, and the honest answer is: possibly, for some people, in some settings. I wrote about what we know, what we don’t, and why creating something together may matter.

What studies of poetry, rhyming, and collaborative creativity tell us about mental health, social connection, and the limits of the evidence.

I played a version of Exquisite Corpse at school, long before I knew it had a name or that the text game went back to the Surrealists in 1925. I wrote up the rules, a paper setup, and a few variations:
