The Longest Poem In the World

Posted by samzenpus on from the for-some-definition-of-poem dept.

Amiralul writes "A Romanian student, Andrei Gheorghe, put up a website that aggregates "real-time public twitter updates and selecting those that rhyme" making in this way the longest poem in the world, with approximately 4000 verses/day being added continuously." Saying that this is the world's longest poem is like saying the Oxford English Dictionary is the world's biggest choose your own adventure book.

    Actually, after reading many pages of this poem, I can say that it is better than most poetry I have read.

    Here are a few gems I've seen:
    I'm more than you think and less of what you all know. You'd be surprised.; Contains coarse language and nudity. Viewer discretion is advised
    EVERYTHING hinges on your LOVE for God and your love for others.; i just want to go home and listen to the jonas brothers

    and my favorite so far:
    A stiff neck and a sore butt an awkward day does make...; i'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
