For the 19th poem of NaPoWriMo/NaPoGenMo 2026, Poetic Carousel 7 rules are coded in Ruby & Python: Where the starting letter of each word is derived from a 3x3 matrix that is generated with no repeat letters and then transposed.

Poems

Rules

Poetic Stanza 1 :
[['e' 'b' 'c']
 ['d' 'm' 'v']
 ['q' 's' 'k']]
Poetic Stanza 2:
[['e' 'd' 'q']
 ['b' 'm' 's']
 ['c' 'v' 'k']]

Output

Entering Before Comfort
Determining Many Vessels
Quietly Securing Keys

Exiting Despondent Quest
Bettering Many Skills
Confronting various Knowledge

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: “Flipping”, InvertedMoves contains flips in various matters (From Pixels to Audio, Movement to Position).Coded in SonicPi, HydraVideoSynth & Locomotion with additional digital art techniques

Poem

What is Set,
Can still change
Upside down
Inverted
As new moments are inserted
Right to left, all around
As the change enters new range
For new depth

As the motion blurred within a blink
As the Movements, pull apart

Either through a Glitch
Or Choreo switch,
The patterns before,
Are no more
As there is a new set of Link
