Word Cloud - 'Max Gently'

[bodkin]

This is a word-cloud exercise. Click the link below to see the word-cloud (you will need Java working in your browser).

Study the cloud and try to find groups of words which inspire you to some sort of poem. You do not need to use every word and you can add as many extra words as you need.

You can also adjust the words' exact forms: run -> ran, train -> trained, horse -> horses etc.

There is no end-date for the exercise, I will put another one up in a week or so...

p.s. Where are these words from?

Mission to the Delta Quadrant (Haibun)


Ensign Jericho : Personal log
Stardate: 0:46:30.80

or was it 0:46:05.56 or 0:46:29.32. All sense of time was lost in stasis. But at
least i knew I was alive; my system up and running after years of inactivity
even at Warp 10 it took 8 decades to reach the Delta quadrant. My brain
inhabited a body not quite human not fully machine; but I was me again and
the professor and his daughter would need me on top form.

Time to wake the crew
time to escape this chamber.
The Borg are waiting!

[bodkin]

I was so still in the building
a brain in a jar not even rotating gently
not even with some tiny light that flickered
once an hour far out in the left of field.

Have you managed to conceal anything
from your human daughter? There are maps
and schematics for this body of needs
for a machine sublime in its ridicule -- me --

watching you calculating and recalculating
desperate for an escape that you'd really like
but cannot find. She's with me now Granddad.
It's well past time for you to take a hike.

These words were from a transcript of the BBC's adaptation of Dirk Gently, S1E2, the bit where the AI wakes up and decides it doesn't want to be a machine any more:



The bit I mean is about 46 minutes in...

I can't seem to see people's word clouds, or make my own. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Jackie are you clicking on the word Cloud in the first post. This should take you directly to the word cloud on Wordle. where a Java Animation containing the words will play out.

Here are the words for this one that I used. Not sure now if this is all of them:
I, was, human, body, machine, how, out, wanted, the, alive, 0:46:05.56, 0:46:30.80, 0:46:29.32 Professor, Daughter, need, brain, Jericho's
