Paste a poem, choose a reading, then click each line-end mark to cycle through connection, short silence, long silence, and inhalation. Suggestions use punctuation, not grammatical AI analysis.
Select a line to edit its silence on the right. End marks cycle through four readings.
An abstract artwork of your edited score, not a physiological recording.
Enjambment carries a phrase or sentence beyond a line break. Try connecting the third line of our sample to the fourth. Then pause at the same boundary. Does the unsaid name feel more suspended? Punctuation alone cannot identify every enjambment; your interpretation matters.
Silence can hold a thought without an inhalation. A comma can invite a light pause, but it does not require one fixed duration. Change a selected line to 0.3 seconds, then 2 seconds. Read both versions aloud and notice which word becomes more prominent.
Repetition, phrase length, emphasis and silence all shape free verse. Sentence reading follows punctuation; line reading marks each line ending; expressive reading is yours to edit. None is a single correct answer. Remove the line breaks to explore what the visual shape contributes.
