You can find poetry in newspapers and
on-line news feeds almost every day! I first read about graphene capacitors in
an Upworthy article on ‘solar power without sunlight’ and after looking up a few of the terms in the article, decided to add this
idea to my haiku-generating computer program
A quick review, the haiku poems (actually, haiku-like
non sequiturs) my program writes consist of three lines, containing:
a clean energy-related concept (5 syllables)
a tangentially related environmental or economic concept (7)
a transformation (5)
The article on solar power without sunlight
yielded the following five and seven syllable phrases:
layer of grapheme
graphene fake capacitor
graphene fake capacitor
I haven’t had time to paint a picture this week as I’m doing an NYU/Scientific American online course on The Psychology of Creativity. So I’ve turned a previously-posted painting into a computer-stylized haiga to illustrate my ‘found’ haiku.
