Sleep
O'er the winds and darkness of savage stone,
The roses of love carry me on by stern decree,
And melt beneath thee grief of thine reluctant hand
In secret lightning broke the new-born infant's tear.
That fatal glance of palling pleasures;
These follies had as thine own dark blue sea;
Thee outlaws fell on the shore of Babylon,
Every nymph held a soul wrapt in a Tear.
The fountains mingle with sleep
the moon's light then a strange seed
And this fading dream belongs to die.
Awake
I used a random generator which analyzed some stuff I inputted into it and started spitting out lines based on the analysis it performed with the algorithm I programmed into it.
I kept customizing this poem with various styles until I had this...

This would be a synthesis of... let's see, who did I use? Wordsworth, Shakespeare, Byron, and Shelley

It's not supposed to necessarily make sense... I couldn't make heads or tails of most of those authors when I was forced to read them. This is just something completely new... a style I've never tried before. Hope you enjoy it.
