DendroGramOfSenses

For the 4th Poem of NaPoWriMo/NaPoGenMo 2025, DendroGramOfSenses contains rules and prompts coded in Python. This is done by having two shuffled arrays of subject matter and creating a Dendrogram that every branch represents the amount of words allowed in that Line. Each branch is then followed by the subject they must correspond to.

Poetry

The atmosphere is acting different
Feels non abrasive but deliberate
The Presence is Faint
But it’s spottable
High Decibels

Atmosphere still acting different
Fragrance is not impeccable
Hueful as Paint
Texture is unknown
Sweetness is Shown

Code

import plotly.figure_factory as ff
import random as rd
import numpy as np

X = np.random.rand(10, 14)

senses = ['Taste','Smell','Touch','Sight','Sound','Sixth Sense','Aura','Planetary','InterPersonal','Microscopic']
rd.shuffle(senses)

#double up some of the senses
sensesSliced = senses[1:8] + senses[1:4]

fig = ff.create_dendrogram(X,labels=sensesSliced)

fig.show()
