September 2007: The Spoonbill Generator has been offline for some time - the server was hacked and had to be replaced. A few changes are currently being made behind the scenes, and there are no live poems just yet, but the Golden Treasury is accessible, and other classic works like The rat Fathom and The Mammary Revival |
Before you contribute to the Spoonbill Generator have a look at the works currently in progress and then read the How It Works section. You might want to consult the FAQ, too.
The first poem created on the Spoonbill Generator was completed in June 1996 and almost 3000 have been written since, ranging from minor masterpieces to complete rubbish.
If this is your first visit, have a look at the Golden Treasury of poems written on the Spoonbill Generator, or at the much smaller Platinum Treasury of prose pieces. The Hall of Fame includes around 40 of the best poems (up to the end of 2002).
There are some links to non-electronic precursors of the Spoonbill Generator in the left-hand frame.
