I noticed some metric irregularities when Tranquility was supplied with the masterwork entitled, "The Fortitudes of Ancient Testiclies" (an obscure Greco-Roman poet), written by the equally obscure Roman poet Platitudinus.

  10 For strength I turn to ancient Testiclies!
  10 Few cantos of his Gonadology 
   7 survive: he influenced Hippocrates!
  10 Dualities, another work, contrasts
  10 constipation with gastroenteritis.
   9 What would the Poet Testiclies have said?

  10 Science must be pursued for its own sake
   9 And never to impress potential mates!

But it is a great project.

What is this I see? This I don't understand. Near matches, you say? I am at your command. But the matches don't match! The rhymes, they are off! What am I to do? My brain is too soft. Yet now I move boldly Into a new verse The fucking matches don't work. Fuck this bullshit. I could try to understand. Study like I'm in school. The numbers on the left. They seem kind of cool.

  Let me start of by saying thank you!
  Your feedback is great at any rate
  The near matches are there to guide you through
  Tough words you may face that leave you stuck at the gate

  But alas near matches help give you a clue
  To help keep your poem straight
  This tool is still yet a hack and much too new
  Have a bit of hope and we will help you create
  Great poetry for all to view

  I don't believe we are doomed in fate
  The poem you created was amazing and true
  I see it as a victory that you found time to try and operate
  So please let us try to make your experience less blue
  By letting us know what we can improve to ease your current state

I had fun with it. This work-in-progress poem came off a little too depressing though. :)

    hello world, I'll finally display
    Those conditions that I might live one day
    and given my arguments local and global
    I cannot say where to be is my focal
    so sure of my halt but not the end of my efforts
    overflowing with input or gridlocked in semaphore?

Very nice. I noticed an irregularity in the dictionary though – for some reason "farewell" is seen as having 3 syllables when it only has 2. (At least the way I pronounce it...)

I like the idea of rhyme suggestions. It'd be even cooler to add n-gram support for smarter suggestions.... maybe I'll try adding that.
