Fantastic.<p>From the examples in the paper it would seem possible to use this system not only to "translate" poetry but also to "produce" poetry, ie to transform a non-poetic text into poetry. The first example is wonderful (table 2 in the pdf):<p>Reference: <i>A police spokesman said three people had been arrested and the material was being examined.</i><p>Baseline: <i>A policeman said that three people were arrested and that the material is currently being analyzed.</i><p>Poetic: Couplet in amphibrachic tetrameter<p><pre><code> An officer stated that three were arrested
and that the equipment is currently tested.</code></pre>
