Poet versus Robot

http://www.pangloss.com/seidel/Poem/

This website writes a poem for you if you give it a first line.

The question is: Is the result better or worse than something that you, as a writer, might have written?

Darn you robot, you have beaten me again...

"I wasn't even expecting this
stare into the blank mirror and cry
No truth ever spoken was truer than this
And if my snores should freely fry."

Cheers,

Mark

Curses, robot wins again... "Get in the back of the van I turn my chihuahua into the epitomy of impotent freaks Spam, Spam you come in that can I cannot think, I cannot speak" Cheers, Mark

 

I tried the first line from this week's Poem of the Week and this is what I got: We were snorkelling in the Bahamas and gasping for air is all you can do with sand in my laces I said to the shrew The cat told him to I think I prefer the original!
Three out of three to the robot... "Lost somewhere I weep, for I know that none shall ever take up my burden, And see the blood spurt everywhere soon you will feel the the flagrant ouvre of gentile gardens." Cheers, Mark

 

Ah, this one is better: We were snorkelling in the Bahamas cigarettes on fire in the depths of my soul... colors like the smell of trout in my pajamas The shock of never rips through my soul but I still prefer the original!
wow! I brushed dreams from my hair The coolness entered our vertebrae Above and below, there was light in the air, wandering aimlessly through the myriad umbrae When the power of love overcomes the love of power, we'll find peace. - Jimi Hendrix

Tease me gently I take a hit on my hooka-bong while the circumcised wren burbles efulgently I think I'm a penguin but I'm always wrong I'm new here so hello all and my first post is a robot-written poem!
Catch this Daddio I found him mapping the mass of duck eggs on the tech room steps lostbutfoundlostbutfoundandlostandfound Reality is a staircase leading nowhere. and fret, and be profound! Ha ha hah ah aha
Wow... Um. She is perfection so i'll just shut up and strike a pose linking wonderous worlds of free expression Sorry, I'll just have to use the moose I'm afraid I lost my moose just the other day. “This age thinks better of a gilded fool than of a threadbare saint in wisdom’s school.”
I put arse biggles faggot into it and got: Arse biggles faggot Distracts the farmer as he sows And I, I´m glad to see what I got. They crunch between my toes like bones of sparrows --as a result of which I conclude that the machine is a far far better poet than I'll ever be!

Is it not possible to rhyme anything with cheese except cheese? ... The toenails of salmons remembering cheese "You make yourself stronger by drinking your piss" Forever will I crave cheese. Yet if you're out there, I now mail you a kiss ... The toenails of salmons remembering cheese And she's ugly as hell. Apon my knees I pray for cheese pickles and the movie Grease do not mix well ... The toenails of salmons remembering cheese The penultimate fate of ungrammatical crudites Forever will I crave cheese. waltzing in selzter cries out without spite ... Evidently not! pe ps oid Blogs! "the art of tea" "that's an odd courgette"

I'm giving up trying to write anything myself. I got: I take cream with my morning coffee your voice hit me like a sledgehammer, It's all in what you see I broke the world at midnight in a summer. Good coffee, this! :-) And I never would have come up with this: The flowers wilt in the morning heat Pondering wonder, what will my thoughts anneal? bacon breathing memorized unkownable shapes of dolly meat the day breaks with band-aids on hand - and i pour a bowl of surreal "bacon breathing memorized unkownable shapes of dolly meat"? Nice to know that even robots misspell words...
Does anyone else remember the spin art machines at the seaside in the 1970s? Fantastic idea; pour in the paint and watch the gadget spin a unique picture everytime. Punter gets to take home a "creative" souvenir. Complete sh*t! No more art than is the cosmos or a tree growing! IMHO.
Damien Hirst managed to pull it off quite lucratively... Let's ask the robo poet... "Damien Hirst managed to pull it off quite lucratively lest the readers go insane Dulcimer! Away, gnat-like heavens! You mourn too plaintively! children stomping, playing games" Wow! Robo Poet on the nose again! Cheers, Mark

 

Okay, I officially got my ass kicked. the age of man has come and passed And finally...with you...I'll be getting the most of life, that is leased The loathsome axe will cut down his tree Admittedly, not too bad.
