# Sestina Generator

**For [National Novel Generation Month 2017](https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2017)**

A [sestina poem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sestina) is a poem that features six stanzas (five 6-line stanzas and a 3-line envoi), and six words that are repeated in specific places. This program uses [corpora datasets](https://github.com/dariusk/corpora) and [tracery](tracery.io) to generate these poems.

## Absurdist Unity poems

The `absurdist-unity.py` file generates sestina poems that shows the unity among various people through the objects they use.

To generate your own poems (which will be located in `absurdist-unity.txt`), run:

```

python absurdist-unity.py

```
