## 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.

POEM TRAVEL LOG

## Collect weird little pins.

First poem finished. 100 km of poem-travel. Lines in 5 languages. A 7-day streak. A line someone reacted to with 🔥. Some are bronze, some neon-rare — all sit in your profile like tiny enamel proof of strange poems you helped exist.
