Looks awesome, it's well explained on the site, the icon is gorgeous (though it instantly reminded me of Procreate --- might want to check that), the UI is sufficiently "next-generation" (part flat + part iOS 6 = iOS 7?).

However I don't understand the rhyme drag&drop interface. Is it a mere reminder of how poetry & rhymes work? Or is it supposed to reorganize my verses at the same time (cause it doesn't)?

The drag/drop part is just supposed to change the rhyme suggestions. So if you you're doing AABB and on line #4, it finds the last word in line #3 and rhymes with that. However if you changed to ABAB line #4 suggestions will now look at line #2. I had a really hard time figuring out a good way to explain that, in the UI, description, and landing page. Agreed its a little confusing. Any suggestions on how to improve that?

Oh right, I just dismissed the suggestions bar altogether as I wasn't composing a poem in English... Well then I think it makes sense as is.
