GOTOPoem Home

GOTOPoem stands at the intersection of poetry, word art and technology. One by one, I'll be porting apps I've created in Python and other languages to web forms, and I hope creating some new tools and toys for creative types.

Tools and Toys

Random rhyme scheme generator

A quick-and-dirty app to generate a random rhyme scheme for a stanza 4-14 lines long. Guaranteed to have no unrhymed lines and not to be monorhymed.

NaPoGenMo

NaPoGenMo is an annual project where participants "spend the month of April writing code to produce a poem/poetry." 2022 is the first time I've participated.

Lemurian Sonnet #5

A generated sonnet "by" one of my heteronyms, Basil Cartyte. The post includes links to the Python source code. I haven't ported this over to Javascript yet, but doing so should be trivial, if tedious.

Sonnets: "And Should I" and "Most True That"</dt>

Two sonnets generated by mixing lines from Elizabethan poetry. This one will be more challenging to port to a web app. Again, links to the Python source code are in the post, as well as citations of the original sources (which can be found on Project Gutenberg).
