NYT Haiku Machine

The New York Times has set up an algorithm to pull out haiku (“haiku”) from their front page stories. It works off of syllables with some minor quality detection, according to the editors. Some are…okay…some just sentences. A few:

The art on the walls
features many a man whose
blood type is bacon.

Such as people all
but fleeing in horror when
the word was mentioned.

I just want you to
say, “There’s always money in
the banana stand.”

They have the type of
mares everyone wants, and it’s
not an accident.
