SenseCarousel

For the 30th day of NaPoWriMo/NaPoGenMo 2024, SenseCarousel contains rules and prompts coded in Python. This is done by having four shuffled arrays of the senses and comparing them to one another. If the same sense is in the same position in the array, it gets called to the final output of the poem.

Poetic Rule

The following rule set for this poem:

• 12 Lines of Poetry

• 2 Stanza's

• Each line must make reference to the sense shown

['Taste']
['Sight']
['Touch', 'Taste']
['Hearing']
['Touch']
['Taste', 'Smell', 'Hearing']

['Taste', 'Touch']
['Smell', 'Hearing']
['Sight', 'Taste', 'Smell']
['Taste', 'Smell']
['Hearing']
['Hearing']

Poem

The sweetness was obvious from a mile
I looked to see the source
It felt like an obstacle course but that sweetness made a smile
As it was crunchy
But yet a bit fluffy
Hearing the crunch as the aroma filled nibbles

With hints of Umami & with a slight ripple
Not an overpowerful scent but that crunchiness gets louder
It had a nice golden tint, that umami still maintains a hint, and my nose
Is still on the combination of the umami and the spice that clears the hose
Healing nothing but joy from the voice
Hearing nothing but joy form the noise
