Flowerewolf
Examples: 1 2 3 4 5 6Flowerewolf builds on WordNet to create experimental poetry on any possible subject. Flowerewolf (the program came up with its own name, which is an incorporation of two words and even a palindrome) can handle basic rules of poetry, like alliteration, consonation, eloquent (read: stiff upper-lip) speech, couplets, verse. Flowerewolf even has his own visual style, not unlike Paul Van Ostaijen.
Flowerewolf has an eccentric sense of humor and an acquired taste for eloquence. Like constructing musing poems on oilfish and describing them as mystical mackerels for example.

You can view lots of other poems on the Oekandana website (which is an auto-generated hoax). On the site there's also a widget with a small part of the Flowerewolf-code made available (download at http://oekandana.be/widget/flowerewolf.wdgt.zip). Cool! Now you can generate names like Flowerewolf, Computerus and Deathletics for your software (or your pets) as well!
