RHYMA

Telephone, but for poetry.

One line. Three minutes. No idea what came before. Strangers around the world finish the poem with you — and the reveal is half the fun.

Human-made · AI-free

How a Rhyma poem comes alive

A collaborative poetry game in four steps.

1

Pick up a poem

You'll see only the last line a stranger wrote. The rest is hidden. You have 3 minutes.

2

Add your line

5 to 66 characters. Make it rhyme, break the rhyme, change the mood. Then it flies onward.

3

Watch it travel

Your poem hops from writer to writer across countries. You won't see what they wrote — yet.

4

The reveal

When the last line lands, the whole thing unlocks. Every line, every author, every detour.

A 4-line glimpse of how it works.

A stranger drops you a line. You twist it your way and pass it on. Days later, your phone buzzes: the poem is done. You open it — and four strangers just wrote something that almost makes sense. That's the reveal.

"Shall I compare thee…"

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"

— Will_S_1599

"Thou art more late than the 8:14 bus"

— InkSpiller

"The moon, meanwhile, owed the cat money"

— LunaTick

"So he filed the paperwork in triplicate"

— BureauCat

Every poem leaves a trail.

Your line was written in Kyiv. The next, in São Paulo. Then Tokyo. Then a bedroom in Lisbon at 2am. When the poem finishes, you don't just read it — you see the map. Every city it passed through. Every stranger who carried it forward.
