"Did You Know...", a poem collection in the style of William Carlos Williams #71

Open enkiv2 opened 5 years ago

Inspired by ufo-poems' use of an ee cummings filter, I decided to do a similar project, turning a database of Wikipedia's trivia facts (the "Did you know.." box on the front page) into blank verse with WCW's trademark newline and indentation every couple words.

(A better version of this would count syllables.)

The filter: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2018/wcwize.py The output: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2018/dyk.md

For one of my projects (#55), I wrote some code that uses the "pronunciation" library to check syllable counts and stresses.

Very creepy, yet very readable!
