Free Verse

Free Verse is a little poetry simulator, inspired by surrealism and poetry algorithms.

Walk in the woods around your writer's shed, stand by the lake, take in the world around you, and see what the world gives back.

As you walk through the world, words will appear in your notebook. If any of them takes your fancy, hit E to bring up several randomly generated phrases. Selecting one will add it to your notebook.

When you have enough phrases jotted down, head for your typewriter, press E, and string the phrases together into a poem that works for you.

You can only carry 21 ideas at a time, but once you've started writing, you can go back and get more, as many times as you need.

When you're done, you can also edit and copy your poem out of the game, to do with it as you wish.

Psst: please share your results in the comments!
