Yet another stupid poem #1: Neznayka's method

[schas002]

This is my first entry into a *GenMo; so don't judge strictly please. (ovo)

Source in Frink.

Basically: It picks an item in the dictionary file and selects others in the same file until the last ENDING_THRESHOLD characters match in both items. Spit them to output. Repeat.

item:     Initial commit
                     |||
ENDING_THRESHOLD: 3  ≠==
                      vv
item2:              init
For a threshold of 3, `Initial com*mit*` and `i*nit*` won't match...

item:     Initial commit
                     |||
ENDING_THRESHOLD: 3  ===
                     vvv
item2:              emit
...but `Initial com*mit*` and `e*mit*` will.

item:    Initial commit
                     ||
ENDING_THRESHOLD: 2  ==
                     vv
item2:             init
If the threshold is lowered, items which didn't match might.

Does this produce even-length lines with flat rhyme schemes consisting otherwise of random dictionary words? I'm not familiar with Frink & finding the logic a little hard to follow.

[schas002]

Does this produce even-length lines...

Correct.

...with flat rhyme schemes...

Unsure what a flat rhyme scheme is...

...consisting otherwise of random dictionary words?

Yup.

[enkiv2]

By flat I mean A/A (as opposed to A/B/A or A/B/C/B)

Ah k :) Then yes, it does.

I finally got around to making a sample (see the next comment). It was made from a corpus of the 10 000 most used words from https://github.com/first20hours/google-10000-english (the no swear file, also excluding the first 30 items and every one-two letter items).

Wait, I accidentally pinged the "Resources" issue. To whoever sees the ping from any of the two sides, I'm sorry. 😞

Instead of going off of word-endings from the spelling, you might want to try translation to Metaphone first, and then go off of the resultant word-endings.

[schas002]

Hmm, I'd kind of like to see a YASP1 with a metaphoned dictionary. Just let me write up a translator...
