Your New Poetry Sidekick the Haiku Checker
Ever felt the need to write a haiku but were in doubt as to whether your poem adheres to the 5-7-5 syllable rule, or not, the Haiku Checker is around to help. Consider it the Swiss Army knife of poets: it can tally characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, letters, syllables and even letter frequency. Besides that it provides some of the quirky extras such as checking Twitter trends, guessing an animal name and generating a random birthday. So, it is time to immerse in the functionality of this tool, its usefulness and the way to use it in your daily writing.
The Core Counting Features
- Character Counter: You may prefer it to be brief enough to fit into social media when testing a haiku. The character counter informs you about the number of letters and punctuation that you have used. As an example, Autumn leaves fall counts 18 characters, so you can edit it to fit a 140-character tweet should you have to.
- Word Counter: Easy and convenient- just enter your poem and find out how many words you have. The 15 words (5 + 7 + 3) are a classic haiku with which you can play around. The term counter can assist you in making sure you are not going past the normal limit.
- Sentence Counter: Occasionally a haiku may slip into sentence fragments or two complete sentences. The sentence counter gets you in check. When you type in Settles, silent night the counter says that there are one sentence and that you are good.
- Paragraph Counter: In longer poems or collections, you might wish to record the number of paragraphs you have committed to write. The Haiku Checker is able to tally them which is useful when creating something that you are to submit to a newspaper or a blog.
- Line Counter: Any haiku is all about the three lines. The line counter will assure you that you have precisely three lines but will also allow you to add or delete lines should you be experimenting with a new structure. It is a visual quick fix that you are on the track.
- Letter Counter: In some cases poets prefer to play with alliteration or the use of vowels. The letter counter allows you a brief overview of the amount of letters in your text of a specific letter, which can be handy in whimsical patterns.
- Syllable Counter: This is the star of the show. The syllable counter in the Haiku Checker is powered by an inbuilt dictionary and certain intelligent guidelines to tally the number of syllables in every line. As an example, Winter wind whispers comes directly to the 5-syllable point. When the counter has an excessive number, or insufficient number of syllables, you receive a nice nudge to adjust your wording.
- Letter Frequency Counter: To anyone who may be interested in the frequency of the letters, the frequency counter displays the frequency of the letters. It is an enjoyable method of checking whether your haiku is heavy-handed in its use of particular vowels or consonants- fantastic to the experimental poets who appreciate sound patterns.
The Fun Extras
- Twitter Trends Wondered whether your haiku is on the same wavelength as what is trending on Twitter? The Haiku Checker retrieves popular trends on Twitter and matches some keywords in your poem. In case you in your haiku say autumn and the most recent hashtag is #FallVibes, you will get a match. It is an elegant manner of making your writing topical.
- Guess Animal Name Need a quick brainstorm? Type in a few letters and the tool will make an educated guess of an animal name that suits. Use, say, C as an input and you may receive cat or crocodile. It comes in handy when your haiku deals with animals and you are at a loss of the right word.
- Random Birthday Generator Have a theme writing prompt? Enter the random birthday generator to choose a random day. A nostalgic haiku may be written on June 12, 1995 about a memory of childhood. It’s an easy method of getting an idea when you have none.
Tips and Tricks to use in real life.
- Start with a Rough Draft. No counting of haiku. Just let the words flow. Once complete, insert the poem to Haiku Checker.
- Check the Basics, First run the character, word and line counters. Should the counts appear without sense, you can adjust the line breaks, or shorten the length.
- Check the Syllable Pattern. Syllable counter is most vital. In case the first line contains 6 syllables rather than 5, then you can make an experiment and substitute softly with soft. The way out of shape can be achieved through small adjustments.
- Alliteration: use Letter Frequency. To find out how many ssounds you have, see the frequency of letters. In case there is only two ss, add sway or silent to increase it.
- Once more, verifying the information in Twitter Trends is advisable to confirm the appropriateness of the keyword or phrase used in your search. Compare with Twitter Trends again, it is worth checking out Twitter Trends to see whether the keyword or the phrase you are searching is the most relevant one. In case you want your haiku to be viral, you may check whether your key words fit some prevailing trends. You can add a line with a trending hashtag when it seems natural.
