Verse by Verse

Verse by Verse (a project from Google) is an experimental AI-powered muse that helps you compose poetry inspired by classic American poets.

Each poet will try to offer suggestions that they think would best continue a poem in the style of that given poet. As such, try working with different poets to see whose style best meshes with your own.  Select the poets who inspire you and write your own first line of a poem.

Poems can be downloaded as images.
