What you'll get back

01 · Output

Overall verdict

A two-sentence read on where your draft stands — the dominant strength and the single most fixable weakness.

Strong opening image and consistent meter through stanza 2; the final couplet weakens the close — consider tightening the rhyme.
02 · Output

Grammar issues

Misplaced commas, agreement errors, awkward syntax — flagged by line number with a concrete suggestion you can apply.

Line 4 /'their' should be 'they're'; the contraction matches the spoken cadence the rest of the stanza establishes.
03 · Output

Spelling check

Typos, archaic spellings used inconsistently, and proper-noun mistakes — only flagged when likely unintentional.

Line 11 /'wether' → 'whether' (homophone slip; both 'wether' and 'whether' exist).
04 · Output

Rhyme analysis

Strong, slant, forced, or missing rhymes — only against patterns your draft is already attempting, not imposed externally.

Lines 6 ↔ 8 /Slant rhyme on 'home' / 'tomb' — works thematically, but the ear expects a fuller closure here. Consider 'doom' or restructure.
05 · Output

Meter notes

Where the rhythm establishes a pattern and where it slips — useful for fixed forms (sonnet, ballad) and for free verse with intentional pulse.

Line 9 /Iambic pentameter holds through line 8; line 9 lands at 11 syllables — drop 'very' to recover the meter.
06 · Output

Weak lines

Lines that under-deliver — vague abstractions, dead verbs, padding. Each comes with one suggested rewrite to consider.

Line 12 /'It was so very sad' is abstract — show the sadness through an image. Try: 'The empty cup still warm.'
