Poet's Knife

Poet’s Knife is a tiny browser-based editing tool for poets who want to look more closely at their own writing without having anything rewritten for them.

Paste in a poem and the tool shows a few simple structural signals:

• word count
• line count
• longest and shortest line
• repeated meaningful words
• possible filler words worth noticing

You can also highlight these elements directly in a separate review view, making it easier to spot patterns without changing the original text.

Poet’s Knife does not judge your poem, rewrite your lines, or tell you what to remove. It simply shows you where you may want to look.

The tool supports both English and Swedish, runs entirely in your browser, and does not send your text anywhere.

No accounts. No AI generation while you use it. No tracking.

Poet’s Knife shows you where to look. You decide what to cut.
