VenbaCraft Usage Guide

Master the art of generating authentic வெண்பா poetry with AI. Learn how each parameter shapes your poem.

🔑 Step 1: Choose Your Keywords

Keywords are the foundation of your poem. They define the subject matter and imagery.

✅ Good Keyword Examples

  • • Specific: "sunset, ocean, peace" → Creates vivid imagery
  • • Thematic: "love, memory, moonlight" → Emotional depth
  • • Abstract: "wisdom, justice, truth" → Philosophical content
  • • Mixed: "flower, morning, joy" → Balanced concrete/abstract
  • • Tamil: "மலர், காதல், இயற்கை" → Direct Tamil input

❌ Avoid These

  • • Too vague: "stuff, things, it"
  • • Too many: "love joy peace harmony beauty grace..." (keep 3-5)
  • • Conflicting: "war peace" (unless intentional contrast)
  • • Full sentences: Use keywords, not complete thoughts

💡 Pro Tip: The AI works well with both English and Tamil keywords. Mix languages if you want: "sunset, காதல், peace" works perfectly!

🎭 Step 2: Select Emotional Tone

The emotional tone shapes the mood and feeling of your poem. Each tone uses different vocabulary and imagery.

😌 Serene

Best for: Nature, peace, meditation

Creates calm, tranquil poetry with flowing rhythm. Uses words related to stillness, water, sky.

Example: "Still lake reflects the moonlight..."

❤️ Romantic

Best for: Love, longing, relationships

Emphasizes emotions, beauty, and connection. Uses imagery of flowers, stars, hearts.

Example: "Your eyes are like the stars..."

😔 Melancholic

Best for: Loss, reflection, nostalgia

Creates wistful, introspective poetry. Uses imagery of rain, dusk, memories.

Example: "Autumn leaves fall like tears..."

🙏 Devotional

Best for: Faith, prayer, spirituality

Reverential and sacred language. Uses temple, divine, grace imagery.

Example: "Divine light illuminates..."

😄 Playful

Best for: Joy, celebration, lightness

Upbeat and cheerful. Uses bright imagery, laughter, dance themes.

⚔️ Heroic

📊 Step 3: Adjust Classicalness Level (0-100)

This controls the sophistication of vocabulary and adherence to traditional Tamil literary style.

🟢 Low (0-30): Modern & Accessible

Uses contemporary Tamil words that are easy to understand. Light classical flavor. Perfect for beginners or modern contexts.

Example: நல்ல நாள், அழகான மலர்கள் (simple, everyday words)

🟡 Medium (40-70): Balanced Classical

Balanced venba-like phrasing with classical elements. Sophisticated yet readable. Best for most users seeking authentic Venba feel.

Example: மலர்ந்த பூக்கள், கவிதையின் அழகு (balanced vocabulary)

🔴 High (80-100): Pure Classical

Tight classical diction with traditional prosody & cadence. Uses archaic and literary Tamil words. For scholars and Tamil literature enthusiasts.

Example: மலர்ந்தன பூங்கொத்துகள், காவியத்தின் செழுமை (classical literary style)

💡 Recommendation: Start at level 70 for authentic Venba feel that's still accessible. Adjust based on your Tamil proficiency and desired style.

Quick, impactful verses. Like haiku in conciseness.

Use when: You want a brief, punchy message
