Ever fancied being able to write like Dylan? Sadly we can't offer you literary greatness, but our random poem generator might help a little.

I was drowned savagely
By the tides of the bottle
Dreaming impatiently on the dewgrazed cobblestreets
On thoughts of lives
Where cocklewomen lie quietly
And all the iceberg-white blush blaze and live
It's said that if an infinite number of monkeys were each given typewriters for an infinite number of years, they'd come up with the complete works of William Shakespeare. We wondered if the same would apply to the works of Dylan Thomas.
However, being sceptical about the idea of monkey literature, we looked instead for a more efficient way to amuse ourselves. And so the Dylan Thomas random poem generator was born.
Simply hit the link to make a new poem, which will appear below. We can't guarantee it'll make sense, but the results can certainly be interesting!
