The pronunciation guide uses the ARPABET phonetic system—the same system used in speech recognition and text-to-speech applications.

Vowel Examples:
AE1 = cat, bat
EH1 = bed, head
IY1 = see, me
OW1 = go, boat
UW1 = boot, do
Stress Numbers:
0 = no stress (unstressed)
1 = primary stress (loud)
2 = secondary stress (medium)
Example:
AH0 TH IY1 N AH0
= a-THEE-na (Athena)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.

Quick Definition

Poetry that uses metaphors or structures drawn from electromagnetic phenomena—such as fields, currents, or polarity—to explore connection or energy.

Detailed Definition
Electromagnetic verse is an experimental poetic concept imagining language as influenced by or analogous to electromagnetic fields—using charged diction, polarized imagery, or wave-like rhythms to explore invisible forces, connectivity, or modern technological environments.
Example
Example in poetry:
Electromagnetic verse: "Poem pulses with EM fields—words as charged particles"; "Stanzas structured like circuits: current, resistance, flow"; "Metaphor of wireless connection: 'signal lost in static'"; "Verse hums with unseen forces—radio waves, Wi-Fi"; "Language as conductor: 'my heart’s antenna seeks your frequency'"
Additional Notes
Experimental poetry exploring electromagnetic phenomena, waves, frequencies, or field theory through linguistic means. Related to scientific poetry but specifically addresses electromagnetism. Contemporary form connecting physics concepts to poetic experimentation.
