Intention to Participate #4

Open MichaelPaulukonis opened 7 years ago

MichaelPaulukonis commented 7 years ago

I've been busy and sick (nothing serious - just a long, tiring chain of non-serious things) this year, but I'm hoping to get something done. (I've also got work to do in Perl!!!)

I'll be building on my "poeticalbot" device that grew from last-year's month, and attempting to add one or more things:

  1. L-Systems poetry
  2. words that all start with the same letter(s)
  3. Mesostics (similar to above)
  4. or eDiastic - see my notes
  5. something else that is more e-poetical than "traditionally" poetical - something other.
  6. better use of rhyme
  7. intake of news as source
  8. intake of arbitrary text as template for charng
  9. re-intake of charng output as template, with some text remaining, rest mutated
  10. Some of the lessons learned from my list generator

This is a LONG LIST. I expect I may only get 1 item accomplished.

Hypertext poetry? Like circa 1997 suck.com?

@enkiv2 maybe, or just less linear, more "e" - I've been thinking in old-fashioned formats that were written by hand/mouth and repeated orally or printed on pages inside of bound volumes, instead of letting the generation and distribution dictate the format. Not really sure what that would BE, but it probably won't rhyme or be logically linear.

There's always concrete poetry. I'll bet it's possible to tweak aalib to use only dictionary words.

So, I modified some code from the graphical lsystem-bot and hooked it up to the aparrish's generator, using a random text from my own custom corpus, and have some stuff.

Elaborations to follow, but this is a POC.

The repetitiveness here reminds me of ancient sumerian writing.

I have code up @ https://github.com/MichaelPaulukonis/NaPoGenMo-2017

Includes some bugfixes, but the random generation is still pretty random.

Interestingly, the output can go from small (single word) to so-long-it-fills-my-shell. Which may more reveal the limitations of my shell, but anyway.
