Poetry breaks most video tools, because the line break is part of the writing and most editors reflow it. YAQUIZO renders your text as you typed it: where you press enter, the line ends. The auto-fit scales the whole stanza down to fit rather than rewrapping it, so the shape of the poem survives the export.
Statement cards allow up to nine lines, which covers a stanza comfortably. For a longer poem, split it across cards — one stanza per card is usually the right unit, and the transition gives the reader a natural pause.
Give poetry more time on screen than a quote. Verse is read more slowly, and the pause between stanzas is part of the reading.
Tips that actually help
-
One stanza per card
A stanza is already a unit of reading. Splitting on stanza breaks gives the video its pacing for free, and the transition does the work of the white space on a page.
-
Slow it down
Verse reads at roughly half the speed of prose. If a quote card would get four seconds, give the same number of words in a poem closer to seven.
-
Choose a serif and leave it alone
Poetry is one of the few short-form formats where a restrained template beats a bold one. Minimal and Glass both stay out of the way of the words.
Frequently asked questions
Are my line breaks preserved? +
Yes. The renderer breaks where you break. Long lines still wrap if they exceed the width, and the whole block scales down to fit rather than being cut off.
How much text fits on one card? +
Up to nine lines. Beyond that the type gets small enough to be hard to read on a phone, and splitting across cards reads better anyway.
Can I publish poems I did not write? +
Only if they are in the public domain or you have permission. Poetry is short, so quoting a whole poem is much more likely to be an infringement than quoting a sentence of prose.
