Which search string ?



I have often wondered which word was actually searched, and putting the word number in seemed a little clumsy, so the word searched is coded with an icon.

The code to which string was searched is below, the icon now appears just before the picture link.

The words searched are indicated by the icons

♤❥❣ღ☮☼♘✾☯♛❁☂

So that if you see ♤, this means the first word was searched, ☼ is the sixth word, etc.

UTF8 and images

As well as working on my meta-haikii, I have been trying to make the tweets even more... interesting.

Have added a little icon character at the end of the haikii to represent the universe and everything residing therein.

And now some of the tweets have an image loaded that is the first smallish image that google finds searching for a random word in the given haiku - I am hoping this will turn out quite interesting because who doesn't want to know google's image representation of 'Facetious' or 'Brimfully' or 'Thereabouts' ?

Playing the game of trying to figure out which word was searched.

Yes, I know, it's not perfect.

Take every single word in the English language from every source one can find that make sense, analyse each word by number of syllables, word syllable sounds, word type and word associations. Upload to a database. 

Create a program that builds sentences with 5 syllables, then 7, then 5 again, add a random hash tag at the end, and tweet these automatically... yes, I don't actually write a haiku every 5 minutes, as much as I would like to, but I certainly take credit for their creation if that is possible... or should I say I take credit for the good ones, and the bad ones... well it is a program after all. The good ones are definitely mine though, over which I have slaved hard and long, burning countless midnight oils.
I share, with the hope that there may be one that makes you smile.

I have at the moment 18 different ways to construct haikii ( haikus?), meta-haiku constructs if you will. Each one better and more understandable than the last. I have left the early ones in as, well... they are strange and amusing sometimes. Please don't judge on the bad ones, read, move on, and maybe if the planets align and the wind is from the South West, you might find one that you recognise as a friend.

I have noticed that the hash tags do appear to be quite interesting... how about vomitslot as a band name ? or deathseat ? or resbite ?

May be the reason that this is being followed by quite a few DJs, Hip-Hop and Heavy Metal Artists. Interesting.

Working on rhyming haikii, 7/11/7 haikii (spacekai ?) and blues lyrics
