pretty amazing project, but could you hook it up to something like a random poem generator on the web?

I don’t know those – they sound lovely, but possibly a project (or box) in itself?

I think 4 or 5 lines max. Haiku me up!

Now that’s a use of technology I can thoroughly approve of.

How short does a short poem have to be? I have plenty of haiku books I could pillage for you. Or how about the 13 mini-poems constituting Wallace Stevens’ “13 ways of looking at a blackbird”? Eg:

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
