Now… poetry.  I can’t compete with software in poetry anymore.

 

Cool!

Ja.  If I did that, perhaps I could escape such literary sins as using faire-laissez to rhyme with essay.  I will likely be condemned to poet’s hell for stuff like that.  Software won’t go there.

Ja I recall BillK’s posting a link to that but I didn’t use it at the time.  Part of problem is that Ivor hasn’t given us much to work with: an unusual name and a taste for poetry: that by itself is thin gruel for the poet and the poetry software to build upon.  I am still hoping he will tell us something cool about Ivor.
