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.

And heartily he goes dying
Into the cloudy eyes,
Streaking while they walk
Loudly in the blinded kings
And slowly the street of the leaves
Love proudly in praise of the bottle
Crested while they kiss
Savagely into the webfoot horses
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!
