Experiment

A week or so ago I ran across a writer's website that had creativity jump starters and writing games. One of the things they had was a Random Poem Generator. You just clicked the button and the software wrote a poem. It can't be that easy. Well, I read the poem, and it obviously is not. But I thought it would be interesting to see if I could take what was "created" and make something meaningful out of it without totally rewriting it. As I write this, I haven't edited anything so, just like you, I have no idea how this is going to turn out.

First, the generated poem, and the following that my version. Wish me luck.

Very humming within the mud

All bright within the mud
I smell peaceful faces beyond the mud
I reach! The demon will go
Strange and mournful beside the air
We taste red fears over the mud
Alass, alack! The bitch is dying
Very humming within the mud
I seduce yellow vapors among the tomb
Atone! The night will come
darkening wanting
a long way from home
an empty address book
In whose arms
the refugee
turn aside
not knowing why

in the mud

too bright.
in the mud
I smell peace.
on their faces,
beyond my reach,
demons
Strange and mournful besides.
in the air
the taste of red,
of fears.
for the mud
she is dying
within
the mud seducing.
vapors dance among the tombs
The night will come
darkening
wanting
a long way
an empty book
for whose arms
does she
leave my side.

not knowing why
