How SCC works

Each line adds one more poetic constraint: meter -> rhyme -> anaphora -> antonym pair -> internal rhyme -> alliteration -> acrostic. The final stanza ties them all into a knot.

Lexicon and style are drawn from Poe (Raven, Annabel Lee, Ulalume, etc.).

Reroll explores new candidates without changing your seed.
