Pentametron

"Ranjit Bhatnagar is a sound artist working with language, technology, and found materials." 

"This bot filters through 10% of the Twitter stream (which currently averages 6,000 tweets per second) checking with an online dictionary service to establish the stress pattern for each word in order to discover tweets written in iambic pentameter. The bot then holds the tweet in a database until it detects another iambic pentameter tweet that rhymes with it the original and then retweets both, creating a rhyming couplet. This deceptively simple set of operations results in surprisingly humorous and insightful juxtapositions as the disparate topics are brought into close pairing through their poetic similarities. Bhatnagar has used this bot to generate sonnets and a book-length sonnet sequence for NaNoGenMo 2013, titled I Got an Alligator for a Pet. Subscribe to this bot to add to your timeline a recurrent, fresh e-poetic twist on a traditional poetic form." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
