Now I’m thinking Haiku randomizer. I don’t think my efforts in this thread are worth immortalization, but it would be fun to put visitor’s haiku up in the header, with proper credit.
So I’d like a lot more material from the creative element out there, and I’d like permission to use it.
Please expect some lag time before this Half-Baked Idea is implemented. In the end, though, It’ll be HOOT!
It would be with pre-canned haikus. I suppose I could write something to make up poetry, but the poem up there is an image, and unless I can get everyone in the world to install that font I just won’t be able to get the same results with live text.
There are programs to allow a server to generate images on the fly. I’ve even used one, but I don’t remember much about it. Overall, however, I think showcasing the poems written by everyone would be more fun. I’ll have to see what tools I have lying around for making those images after I don’t have access to Leza’s photoshop anymore.
Yer gonna have to get the haiku spirit into everybody – can you make it mandatory that everybody who visits has to write a haiku in order to enter the site? That said:
So tired this morning I couldn’t even count to seven. It’s fixed now… And the beta has been delivered. Less work for a while now.
I have fallen again
many people, come running
to help me up
Nice. Please don’t take my response as a lack of respect:
Pants are down again
many people come running
to hoist them back up
I could swear I posted a poem here already…
My poem is gone
all lost to ones and zeroes
words cannot return
That is really good. It made me write this:
The battle between
The worlds of art and science
Is won by zeros

TO randomize existing poems, or, like CA’s program, randomize new poems. If you mean existing ones, I’ll try to help bolster the numbers.
A puppet Count counts
zero one to one zero
laughter wells within

Barking dog flashes
Shutter clicking one more time
Protons fly and bounce
Driving humans crazy
Suicide Squirrel Death Cult
Makes us all suffer
beauty but crazy
Rio Arriba County
my slice of heaven
Get out of my way
Blood filled bag of rodent fur
Or feel the differential
Understanding lost
censorship reigns undaunted

I suppose a little editing goes a long way…
that line oughta be
more like ‘indifferential.’
asshole cannot count.
Have to say I’m enjoying the haikus!
typing poem wrong
burning it to a bitmap
too busy to fix
Their cover is blown;
Squirrels are out to get me.
They got my husband.
squirrel attacked them
HUMANS WILL LEARN THEIR LESSON
Squirrels attack soon
Fluffed-up white squirrels
removing evil humans
one nut at a time

Time is once again
Swifter than the heart felt beat
Light lingers till late
one word that leaves us
speaches of laughing timber
can’t find the way home
kid at summer camp
one week music, one week Scouts
peace and quiet, right?
house undefended
squirrels attack in rainstorm
doorbell will not stop
zebra lighter lights
a puff of flame vanishes
contrast leaves some space
A truck o waiting
Stopped near, and still far from hope
can’t find a pivo
