I want to generate poetry. How should I do this?

You can't

It's just words.

I know. The problem is by no means impossible to solve, I just meant that you personally are not mentally capable of solving it.

*You* can't

Google Random Poetry Generator.
Duh.
We had this back in the day on our Timex Sinclair. Easiest thing in the world. Not rocket science.

Look into Markov chains and/or the cup-up technique.

I wrote a haiku generator. If you go that route your going to need Markov chains to create the text.

I spent quite some time trying to come up with an algorithm to count syllables but it was only accurate 80% of the time so I recommend that you use a database. I can dig up a link of one like 40k words if you are interested.
