Now Let's Turn Our Words into Poetry in Motion
FlickrPoet
FlickrPoet was developed as an experiment to visualize short texts via images pulled from a text search on Flickr. Results tend to fluctuate wildly between random and deeply meaningful. FlickrPoet works best with poems and song lyrics, but feel free to experiment!
Now it's your turn...
Go to FlickrPoet, and type a sentence. When you click on the 'Show Story' button, FlickrPoet will browse the Flickr database and pull an image for each word/phrase used in your sentence. These images will be organized to provide you with a picture story. You can click "Show Story" again to retrieve a different set of images for the same text.
