iPoet is a poetry generator for creating computer-generated poetry, it will create a poem, based on a topic of your choice, with your specified stanza (paragraph) length, number of stanzas and a 1-line refrain. It uses a simple text file ( YAML: .yml extension) as its dictionary, which allows you to edit it on any PC.

2. To program your own templates use Editor included in the download
3. Switch between Viewer and Editor in the editor program using the tabbed pane
4. Adding Abstract nouns, adjectives and adverbs requires no special markup.
