Today I humbly offer this petition to Flarf, the Next Generation: Make us all poets!
Skilled flarf internet technicians could design a software program to scan the web pages users view each session, then as users log out assemble poems from those scans. For example, on Sundays, the program could produce sonnets for its users based on the web pages viewed. On Mondays villanelles could be the choice (users of course, as artists, could choose the form they want), on Tuesdays the program could write poems in terza rima, on Wednesdays, hump day, it could deliver some beaming haiku, on Thursdays it could create tanka, on Fridays it could generate free verse poems, and on Saturdays, just in time for the evening social events, it could produce crowd-pleasing slam poems.
Please make us all poets! Just think of the potential reading pleasure!
