The Longest Poem In the World

Amiralul writes "A Romanian student, Andrei Gheorghe, put up a website that aggregates "real-time public twitter updates and selecting those that rhyme" making in this way the longest poem in the world, with approximately 4000 verses/day being added continuously." Saying that this is the world's longest poem is like saying the Oxford English Dictionary is the world's biggest choose your own adventure book.

Twitter + Poetry

Actually, after reading many pages of this poem, I can say that it is better than most poetry I have read.

Here are a few gems I've seen:
I'm more than you think and less of what you all know. You'd be surprised.; Contains coarse language and nudity. Viewer discretion is advised
EVERYTHING hinges on your LOVE for God and your love for others.; i just want to go home and listen to the jonas brothers

and my favorite so far:
A stiff neck and a sore butt an awkward day does make...; i'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake

Just woke up and can't comprehend anything anyone is saying.

Thinking, Pondering, Wondering and hmmm.. finally Praying !!

I guess rhyming sentences have a high enough collision rate to make good poems... finally, art that I can brute force!

An old saying

[Amiralul]

Fara poezie, viata e pustiu.

I'm sorry, it's hard to translate this in English.

Thank you Google Translate for this, but you blew away the fun of it.
You see, the correct grammatical form would be "Fara poezie, viata e pustie" which in Romanian language is a rhyme. Now, if you are drunk and want to say something with a deep philosophical meaning, you can forget to put the correct form and say it like I did at the beginning. Actually, this is a line from a (famous) Romanian movie.
Damn, it's hard to explain humor.

hardly. Ever try reading All of the IRS manuals?

Really, if it is running our lives, is not the IRS manuals poetry? If not why not?

Almost too good to be true

My heart is dead and so are you!
Oh, and heartburn. I have that too.

Homer would be pissed...

[SeeSp0tRun]

This just seems like a slap in the face to both the Iliad and the Odyssey.

Or, much like those two epic poems, it is just a reflection of society; This makes me sad.

The worst bit of poetry

[Psychophrenes]

The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England in the destruction of the planet Earth.

Just glad we found a replacement.
