I was doing some research on various poem styles this evening and came across one that I've never heard of. It is called "Dada". I have heard of Dada art, but had never heard the term in regards to poetry. It is a poem that makes no sense at all, like someone took the words of a poem and poured them out of a bucket to land where they may.
I came across a website that has a Dada generator. You put a few lines (at least eight words) into the generator, and it spits them back out to you in a Dada-styled mess of words. I have been having fun making a mess of a few phrases and then copying the resulting "poem" back into the generator to further mix things up.
My original two sentences:
I will forgive you when I stop hurting. I will stop hurting when I can forgive you.
The resulting Dada:
when hurting. I when can
will forgive stop hurting. I
I forgive I forgive you.
you I stop I will
will stop I will hurting
I when I hurting. I
Sometimes I feel as confused as these Dadas are!
Here's the link in case you'd like to have a little fun with this. Dada Generator
