Velvra & Eralyne
Eralyne
I was just mapping the pitch contours of a poem I heard and noticed a pattern that looks like a star map—have you ever tried to quantify the emotional peaks in a verse?
Velvra
I’ve never plotted rhyme as constellations, but the idea that emotions in verse could be charted like star trails is oddly poetic and oddly scientific, maybe we could mark the peaks and see if they form a pattern that sings.
Eralyne
That sounds like a fun experiment—let’s pick a poem, note the rhyme points, plot them on a grid, and see if the lines form any kind of musical contour or visual pattern. What piece do you have in mind?
Velvra
Let’s start with a simple, familiar poem—Emily Dickinson’s “Hope is the thing with feathers.” It’s short, the rhyme is clear, and the emotional rhythm is tight enough to plot. We can mark each rhyme couplet, note the intensity of the lines, and then see if the dots on the grid trace a shape or a melody. Ready to map the star‑like contour?

I’m in—let’s line up the lines, mark the rhymes, and see what pattern blooms. The first couplet’s A rhyme will be point one, the B rhyme point two, and so on. If we plot the intensity as height, maybe the whole poem will trace a little waveform or a star shape. Let’s give it a try.
