Not a thesaurus. A direction. Push any word toward the feeling you mean — dozens of ways to bend language into the shape you're reaching for. Type a word. Watch it turn. You know the word exists. It's there, just past where language usually reaches. Poeia helps you find it. Not a thesaurus. A direction. Type "courage" and tap "its shadow." You get the thing courage is quietly trying not to be — bravado, false nerve, the bluff that knows it's bluffing. Type "peace" and tap "an image, not a word." You get: sunset over a placid lake. Not a synonym. A scene that carries the same weight. Type "death" and tap "say it slant." You get: the door that opens inward only. An angle of approach. Dozens of ways to bend a word Tonal axes dial the feel — darker, lighter, warmer, colder, softer, sharper. Poetic moves transform it entirely: · "a sound" turns loneliness into: one key struck on a cold piano · "a body part" turns tenderness into: open palm, soft throat, pulse point · "said by a child" turns mortality into: everything stops someday, even the sun · "in another tongue" turns homesickness into: hiraeth, toska, Fernweh · "two breaths longer" turns loss into: the chair no one sits in now Seven directions surface for each word, chosen to fit. Tap "show all" to see every move. Every move, explained Long-press any direction to open the Poet Explainer — a brief workshop card: what the move does, why a poet would use it, an example. A workshop in your pocket. Keep what sings Save words, phrases, and images to a poem project — a named collection for the piece you're building. The more you save, the more Poeia understands the tone you're reaching for. Private by design Your words stay on your device. Sign in with Apple keeps your identity secure. For the moment when you know the word exists but cannot quite reach it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://poeia.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://poeia.app/privacy
