Map Poesy From What3words


The what3words addressing organisation is 1 of the easiest ways to portion your place alongside friends together with family. The what3words place coding organisation divides the basis into 57 trillion 3 x 3 meter squares. Each of those squares tin hold out uniquely identified alongside but 3 words.

If I say y'all I'm currently at 'Joke, Pretty, Dated', all y'all bring to exercise is append those 3 words to the what3words URL (map.what3words.com/joke.pretty.dated) together with y'all tin thought a map of my place to inside a few feet of accuracy.

Apparently What3Words every bit good has about other uses. For illustration Darren Wiens is using what3words to exercise map poetry. what3words Poetry starts y'all off alongside a random 3 give-and-take map address every bit the start 3 words of a poem. The final ii words are thus used to exercise the start ii words of the adjacent delineate of the poem.

Your delineate is to render the tertiary give-and-take of the mo delineate of the poem. When y'all instruct inwards the give-and-take the 3 words of the mo delineate of your verse form is thus used every bit a what3words address together with y'all are shown that place on a Google Map. You tin croak on inwards this agency adding a give-and-take to every delineate together with receiving about other novel place on your Google Map.

This sounds far to a greater extent than complicated than it genuinely is. In fact it is rattling unproblematic to use. It is every bit good pretty skillful fun. Here's a verse form that I created (you tin meet the map it creates above),

  unlikely ants trilogy
  ants trilogy reread
  trilogy reread twice

My verse form isn't going to win whatsoever literary prizes. Why non meet if y'all tin exercise better.

You tin read to a greater extent than almost the what3words Poetry map, including a link to a whole tumblr spider web log on what3words inspired poetry, on Darren Wien's Blog, Darren's Side Projects.
