About PoeticÁI: Write a Poem
Poetry isn't a test you can fail.
It's the oldest way people have of saying the things that are hard to say, and PoeticÁI is a quiet place to try it. Pick an occasion, pick a poet to write in the manner of, pick a form and a mood, and a poem is written for you to keep, change your mind about, or give to someone.
NO SUBSCRIPTION. NOT NOW, NOT EVER.
Poetry apps have discovered the weekly subscription. This one hasn't. Everything here is either free or a one-off purchase that never expires and never renews. No trial that quietly becomes a bill, no account, no email address.
FOR THE OCCASION
A wedding. A eulogy. A fortieth birthday. A new baby, a retirement, a leaving card, an apology long overdue. Twenty-one occasions, and you can name who the poem is for so it's written to them rather than about the subject in general.
Poems for a funeral are handled with the care they deserve: no whimsy, no forced comfort, and an illustration drawn in black on grey rather than something cheerful.
WRITE IN THE MANNER OF
Shakespeare, Dickinson, Poe, Keats, Whitman, Chaucer, Blake, Yeats and twelve more in English. Hugo, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine and Ronsard. Goethe, Rilke, Schiller, Heine and Hölderlin. Lorca, Neruda, Machado, Bécquer and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Dante, Petrarch, Leopardi, Ungaretti and Montale. Or nobody in particular.
Forty poets, and the shelf is no longer only English. Set your phone to French, German, Spanish or Italian and those poets are simply there, alongside the English ones rather than instead of them. Any other shelf you add yourself in Settings. For the purist version, ask for each poem in its poet's own language: Rilke will answer you in German.
Tap a poet's portrait and you get a short life: when they lived, what they wrote, what they were doing to the language.
KNOW THE FORMS
Free verse, haiku, ballad, acrostic, ode, blank verse, limerick, prose poem, sonnet, villanelle, pantoum, ghazal, sestina, elegy, epic, concrete poetry, rubaiyat.
Seventeen forms, each explained in a line (three lines, 5-7-5, a single held moment) so you learn a little about how poems are built rather than just receiving one. Pick a villanelle and you'll see what a refrain does to a poem. That's the point.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Any poem can be given an illustration drawn in the manner of a 19th-century engraving: ink line work, cross-hatching, and a palette that changes with the mood of the poem. Poem and picture together make a card you can share, print, or keep in your library.
KEEP IT, OR SEND IT
Copy the poem as text. Share it as a picture. Export it as a PDF that prints properly on A4. Every poem you write is saved to your device: favourite the ones you like, swipe away the ones you don't. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is public, and there's no feed to perform for.
WHAT COSTS SOMETHING
Illustrations are sold as credits: a small one-off purchase, never a subscription, and they don't expire.
Patron is a single payment that unlocks the whole c

Latest updates
1.6.0
Poets who wrote in your language, and an app that speaks it.
POETS BY LANGUAGE
The roster was twenty English and American poets, which meant a German reader got a German poem written in the manner of Robert Burns. Twenty more poets join them.
Hugo, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine and Ronsard. Goethe, Rilke, Schiller, Heine and Hölderlin. Lorca, Neruda, Machado, Bécquer and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Dante, Petrarch, Leopardi, Ungaretti and Montale.
Nobody loses a poet. English poets are always there, your device's language is added on top, and anything else you turn on yourself. Your own language leads the row, so the poets most likely to be yours are the first you reach.
FORTY-ONE PORTRAITS
Every poet now has one, drawn in the same 19th-century engraving style as the illustrations. Tap one for a short life: when they lived, what they wrote, what they were doing to the language. In your language, not only in English.
WRITE IN THE POET'S LANGUAGE
Optional, and off unless you ask for it. Turn it on and each poem takes the language its poet wrote in, so Rilke answers you in German. Anon always writes in yours.
GERMAN, SPANISH AND ITALIAN
The whole app, not just the poets: every screen, every form description, and every poet's life story.
SETTINGS
A new screen, reached from About. The poet languages live there, along with the hand your poems are set in: Euphoria Script, Snell Roundhand or Georgia. That choice was in the app for two years with no way to make it.
FIXED
Percy Bysshe Shelley's biography opened on nothing, because the catalogue spelled his name one way and the app another. William Blake and Dante Alighieri had lives written for them that no poet in the picker pointed at. All three are now where they should be.
