A new website called Poetweet has gone online, created by the Brazilian Contemporary Art Centre. aka the B_arco Cultural Center.
You type your Twitter name into the text box, choose what type of poem you want and the software then allegedly tracks “the data of your inspiration” while, it claims, “analysing your deepest thoughts”.
Analysing my own superficial 140-character thoughts via my own Twitter account, Poetweet came up with this sonnet:
AUDIENCE MEMBER
by John Fleming
Singing, vomiting & fisting
Into over 100 million stars…
But it must be something
And the sexual use of Mars Bars
Forget comedy and turn to crime
Drugs, creativity, mental health.
2016… Everything takes time…
And turned to Beautiful Filth
At my worldwide blog statistics
In brain is mainly in the plain
Of British alternative comics
This weekend, literally underground
Church in the Middle East…
Is that a bra in the foreground?
There may be more development needed in the Poetweet software.
It also came up with this Rondel…
ORIGINAL TRAILER
by John Fleming
The World Egg Throwing Federation
Parlours and marijuana plantations
Winkleman pops up as a suggestion
Dead British television stations
Norwegian sex act in 2004. Honest.
Mad Frankie Fraser & feminism
And Lesbians in the Forest
The French for liberal Fascism
There are intentional emergencies
Now targeting Fringe comedy acts?
World aid is a holocaust of lies
Shot is real – not special effects
But have some vile Fringe memories
Make of that
What you will
I think I’ll wait
Until
Computers are more
Like Vivienne Clore
Actually the Brazilian poetry sounds remarkably good. I detect a faint Argentinian influence. ? Maybe the Breslins could help you clean it up a bit so that it is more acceptable for general audiences.
