Shall
I
compare
thee
to
a
summer's
day?
Thou
art
more
lovely
and
more
temperate:
The same five moves the app teaches you in its opening tour.
Over a thousand public-domain classics — Dickinson, Frost, Shakespeare, Hughes — tuned to the poets and themes you pick. One swipe, one poem, no noise.

Press play and a professional narrator reads while each word glows in time, karaoke-style. Four voices; every poem in the catalog.

winds
do
shake
the
darling
buds
of
May,
And
summer's
lease
hath
all
too
short
a
date.
