Transcript
⾠WARNING The following presentation contains a very loose definition of
"poetry". If you find yourself easily dismayed by bad poetry, please leave the room.
Limerick /ˈlimərik/ n. a humorous, frequently bawdy, verse of three
long and two short lines rhyming AABBA. credit: Google
Twitter /ˈtwitər/ n. a series of short, high-pitched calls or
sounds. credit: Google
Twitterick /ˈtwitərik/ n. a humorous, frequently bawdy, verse of three
long and two short high-pitched calls or sounds. Rhyming is preferable. credit: me
Dan F-M /dän əˈfem/ n. an astrophysicist/hacker with a love
of mashups and too much free time.
Dan F-M /dän əˈfem/ n. definitely not a poet.
POETRY Crowdsourced
thousands of tweets every second. sometimes we might get
lucky.
there are no new ideas.

You've managed to take two things that I don't give
a shit about–poetry and Twitter–and create something that I can't stop using. – a friend ‟
How does it work?
stream tweets. NL TK get pronunciation. save for later.
Want a new poem? 1 Get a random tweet with
9 < syllables < 15. 2 Get two random long tweets that "rhyme". 3 Do the same thing to get two short rhymes.
