Spoetry

Encyclopedia : S : SP : SPO : Spoetry

Spoetry or Spoems, are "spam poems" written using only the subject lines from spam e-mail. Spoetry arranges these subject lines in comical or ironicaly ways, often in the form of a haiku or a limerick.

Both Jon Casimir [link] and Kristen Thomas [link] claim to have invented the concept independently as a means of coping with the enormous volume of spam they receive.
