Andrei Gheorghe is creating the “Longest Poem in the World” using Twitter. “Computers add 10 to 20 lines to the poem each minute,” he said. The best part? It rhymes!

    Andrei,

    Thanks so much for leaving a comment. Really do like the project, and congrats on its success. Is there any way to search to see if one of your tweets has been used in the poem?
