Free Verse · Wedding
Personalised. Occasion-specific. No greeting-card language.
For M & R — 14 April

You met in a city that doesn't slow down,
but you made a still point in it — that corner table,
the one you always argued was too close to the door.

Now you're choosing the same corner,
for every room you'll ever be in.

Not because it's easy.
Because you already know
what to do when the door swings open.
Names, date, and a shared memory woven in. No abstraction without a concrete image anchoring it first.
Ghazal · Longing · Urdu-English
Bilingual. Structurally complete. Radif present every couplet.
Duri / Distance

The train pulls out and the platform holds your shape — duri.
I learn the word for missing in every city — duri.

In Urdu it means distance. In practice
it means I still set two cups — duri.

Jo jaata hai, woh door jaata hai —
what leaves, leaves further than a mile — duri.
Radif: "duri" closes every couplet. The two languages do different emotional work — neither is a translation of the other.
Spoken Word · Graduation · Performance
Written for the ear. Performance notes included.
What They Didn't Put on the Scroll

They gave you a certificate for what you learned.
Nobody gives you one for what you survived.

For the 2am that looked like the end of a chapter
but turned out to be the title page.

Keep that one. Frame that one.
The one that says: I showed up anyway.
Delivery note: build slowly to "showed up anyway" — pause before the final line. Call-and-response opportunity on "Keep that one." Approx. 2 mins at performance pace.
Structural Note · Haiku Sequence
Every poem ships with a craft note — not padding.
Form used: Haiku sequence (3 poems)
Syllable count: 5-7-5 confirmed per poem
Season word (kigo): "first light" — spring
Craft note: Each haiku reads as a complete moment; together they trace a single arc from waking to departure. The central image — the window — shifts meaning across all three.
Personalisation note: The recipient's name can replace "you" in poem 2 for gifting use.
Structural notes are form-specific — not a template, not padding.

How it works

How does Poetry & Verse Prompt work?

  1. Tell Claude what you need — the skill asks 2-3 narrowing questions specific to the task.
  2. The skill runs live research and structures the output before writing a single word.
  3. An anti-slop quality gate checks the draft, then delivers a ready-to-use result for $5.

Not what this is for
✕Reproducing existing copyrighted poems — this writes originals only.
✕Mass-produced, send-to-everyone verse — it's built for one occasion, one recipient.
✕Academic literary analysis — it writes poems, not essays about them.

The complete guide to poetry and verse prompts covers what makes verse that lands in the ear versus one that sits on the page.

"I've been performing spoken word for six years. The skill wrote a graduation piece I delivered at a 400-person event — the crowd called for an encore."

Quick answers

Do I need a paid Claude account for Poetry & Verse Prompt?

No. The free Claude plan is enough to get started and see the skill working. A Pro plan unlocks longer outputs.

How do I install the Poetry & Verse Prompt skill?

Download the .skill file, open Claude, go to Customize → Skills → Upload a skill, and drop the file in. It appears in your slash-command list immediately.

Can I edit or customise the output after I receive it?

Yes. The output is plain text you own and can edit freely. Most users tweak specific details or the call-to-action to fit their exact use case before sending or publishing.

How specific do my inputs need to be to get a good result?

The more specific your input, the more precise the output. The skill asks targeted questions to gather context — answering these in detail produces noticeably better results than generic one-line inputs.
