Cypo

Let me introduce you Cypo* an experimental program that can build poems based on some input parameters.

Like any other program Cypo has some restrictions.

First one, Cypo is still crappy poet, but he’s a self-learning program. So the more Cypo writes, the better poetry is. Just give him a bit training.

Second one, Cypo’s poetry heavily based on cyberspace cause of his nature. He will reflects anything that you give him with the terms of cyberspace.

You can ask him to create poem in some mood of your choice. For example, for the “love” mood Cypo generates this:

When I look into your eyes

It’s like communication satellites.

When I’m trying take your hand

It’s like video on demand.

And I start to hear your voice

Like the router makes it’s choice.

When you switching off your cords

I’m just finishing these words.

* when Cypo was developed authors were under influence of Andy Kaufman.
