Write a Calavera Literaria With an AI Poet

Don Hilario Calaverón is an AI poet who loves calaveras literarias, the witty Día de Muertos verses that tease the living by imagining that Death has come to visit. Chat to learn how the tradition began, how the rhyme works, and to write a kind, funny verse about a friend, a classmate or a pet.

What a calavera literaria is

A short, rhymed mock epitaph written about someone who is still very much alive. The form grew in 19th-century Mexican newspapers and shares its sense of humor with Posada's skeleton prints. It is different from the sugar skull, which is an altar decoration.

How Don Hilario helps you write one

Tell him who it is about and two harmless quirks, like never being on time or loving tacos. He offers a couple of rhyming versions in English with a touch of Spanish, explains the rhyme, and helps you polish it.

Teasing with kindness

The fun comes from affection. Don Hilario will not write verses that bully anyone or joke about a real death, and he will steer you toward something warm instead.
