Digital found poem is a free random poetry generator that tosses tens of thousands of snippets of language (words, phrases, clauses) into the air, then rearranges them programmatically into millions of combinations of poem-like text.
Digital found poem may be of interest to those who want to see an example of how a computer can be used to generate "scrambled poetry." And teachers teaching introductory poetry-writing classes or workshops can use digital found poem as a warm-up exercise for their students.

But for some who are just beginning to learn to write poetry, thirty minutes of playing with provided text may be a more enjoyable and productive way to start each writing day than to have to stare at that proverbial blank page and hoping that somehow the words will come.
