The poems explained

Hallucination

There is a wonderful program that asks for a whole bunch of place names, emotions, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, etc. and then scrambles them up into a poem. Inputting vaguely related words gives the resulting output a semblance of meaning. The program used to available at the RinkWorks web site (which, by the way, is highly recommended!) but I can't find it there any more.

Primal

A friend of mine once sent me a list of English words that the Google search engine ignores in its searches because they are too common. I rearranged and linebroke the list to give it a nice metre. This was the result.
