Brilliant idea, though I'm getting a lot of "Sorry, we couldn't mash peoms for you, Perhaps you can try another time or two!"

Oh yeah, and that Error says Peoms rather than Poems...

One of the devs website is being flagged as distributing malware by Chrome on About page. You should remove that reference from the site until it gets resolved.

Cool idea btw.

Fantastic! I originally thought you meant visual art but was pleased to see a surprisingly fluid poem (though it didnt make much sense).

I experimented with twitter as a random art generator a while ago, but its been down since they changed their API requirements and I haven't had the motivation to fix it yet. An old snapshot can be seen here: http://binarymax.com/brownian_2.gif

There really is a lot of great stuff you can do with the entropy that comes from twitter.

Worked for me, though I had to actually enter those words in the boxes...

Along the same lines: Pentametron: http://pentametron.com/ It actually goes a little further by writing sonnets.
