Experimental Poetry 8

7/11/19

I decided to do a found poem of sorts, but this time make it so the "poem" contents, including the titles, were made from the code that was used to create the poem. Talk about a poet spilling their guts.

I made a list of all the functions, variables, operations, and numbers used in the code in Excel to create this poem. Then I randomly sampled from this list, with replacement, to create the three following poems:

Enjoy!

Ahh, computery beauty.
