A phonemic key that can be checked
A phonemic key constrains sound rather than spelling. A word belongs to the permitted field only under a specified pronunciation and a specified rule. The notation Wᵢ ∈ Φ(K) does not itself say whether K is a phoneme inventory, a rhyme family, a stress pattern or a looser set of echoes. The writer must define that relationship before claiming a successful check.
Every phoneme in a declared word pronunciation must belong to K. The form accepts an author-entered lexicon so that an accent, an invented language or a narrow selection of words can be described.
The miniature below uses a declared inventory /s iː d z/. Its three words produce a movement from a seed to a seizure. That thematic movement is a reading of the sequence. The closeness of the sound makes the change audible while the separate written forms resist collapsing into one meaning.

Making and checking the poem
The form is word = phonemes entries. Keep a multi-character IPA phoneme as title. Preview all words or select the words governed by the key. Record the dialect or invented pronunciation convention in your source notes.
The intended rule can move by author discretion between rhyme rather than inventory together or separately.
