all is vanity
so said the LORD
(praise me)
men put bitter justified rejections
over sunshine
flaming sword upon a dove
the only shade is a razor sharp
smile
so shine
Computer poetry is warfare carried out by other means, a warfare against conventionality and language that has become automatized. Strange as it seems, our finite state automata have become the poet’s allies in this struggle, the long historical battle by which mankind pries into the surface of language to reveal its latent mysteries… R.W. Bailey, Computer Poems (1973)

Some great sounds. I'm guessing its the effect of the alliteration bias? The brevity and alliteration suggest its worth a close reading, and in fact there are a number of interesting readings possible in it (both in tone and content.)
ReplyDeleteActually, no - I've been tinkering with the alliteration bias and it sucks now :( ... i'm going back to the naive form ... most of this post-generation tinkering.
ReplyDeleteThanks, though.
