I believe that more actual poems are emerging in this program. Instead of seeing jumbles of words I am seeing words that when put together make complete or partial sense. I discovered this site on discovery.com and in the article describing the site it said that an article British weekly commented on the site. The article said that like a race of people in a sci-fi book called Vogons that wrote poetry, the poems generated by the site would be so bad that the person who reads it would die. When I was first on this site a few days ago I saw some truth in that, but now I see they were wrong. Evolution prevailed. The progress was so good that now it is harder to choose between two poems, since they may be both good (I couldn't say that last week).
