Li-Bo's Text Inpector

A useful link to a great program that can help the
aspiring poet in his or her work. Comments welcomed!
I want to recommend a link I found while searching around for poetry resources. Li-Bo's Text Inspector ( www.kuba.co.uk/libo.html ) is a great program that can count syllables and analyze rhyming patterns. Great if you are unsure if you got the syllable count right, or what style the poem is written in. This is a beta version, and has its bugs, but it works good. A tip is to remove any blank lines before analyzing the poem. The program is available both as online java-applet and downloadable Windows executable...

My poem "Stranger in the Mirror" gave this result: "This could be a sonnet, but it does not seem to match any standard pattern. It has an aabbccddeexxaa pattern."

Hope you find it useful!
