a quinary

Hello,
Here's a simple little generative poetry form, implemented in Processing.

Abstract
This work is a simple exercise in algorithmic poetry. A generative poetry structure, the quinary, is devised and implemented. Simple lines and images are ordered randomly within a fixed structure of five groups of five lines (four lines and an image, actually). There’s a boy, a girl, aspects of weather and living nature, and random images. Each time the poem is read the lines and images reorder in a random permutation. Meaning slips ever so slightly as
haiku meets Hollywood in an Oulipian playground.

Enjoy,

Hey, this is pretty nice. It seemed short, though.
