Random Language Poetry Project By Nick Arzhantsev

randomlanguagepoetry.com

Poetry rules are universal: rhyme, rhythm, structure.

You can feel poetry, and it has nothing to do with meaning.

I pick a language which I absolutely don’t know.

Then I choose my favorite book in this language.

I listen to hundreds of random words from the book.

At this stage, the meaning is still a mystery to me. I put words together to create a poem based what they sound like.

For every poem, I use a different poetry style,

from Romanticism to Futurism.

Take a look at some of the poems and read the translation. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s philosophical. But always weird.
