| RhymeZone | Allowed | 2026-09-10 |
The same general-purpose OpenAI assistant (see the Screenplay & Story guide), used here to suggest imagery or rhymes, or to review the meter of a draft you already wrote.
Why this verdict? Suggesting an image or critiquing your poem's meter stays within the line with a simple disclosure. Asking it to "write the whole poem for me" means the published poem is not your own work -- crossing the line unambiguously.
A rhyming dictionary and thesaurus: looks up words that rhyme with yours, plus synonyms and definitions -- a pure reference tool, not a poetry generator. Entirely free.
Why this verdict? A lookup reference only -- every line and word choice remains the poet's own.
