Pretty Mes is a tiny Flask application that creates mesostic poems (a type of visual poetry) from current news headlines. Pretty Mes is deployed on Heroku and can be found at https://prettymes.herokuapp.com. I've also writen a blog post describing how I created Pretty Mes and how it works.

Pretty Mes is a Flask app that parses current news headlines to generate "mesostics" (a type of procedural poem) and generative typographies from current news headlines in the style of American experimental artist John Cage. Pretty Mes is deployed on Heroku and can be found at https://prettymes.herokuapp.com.

A blog post on Medium details the motivations for this app as well as the tech stack and datastructures that support Pretty Mes.
