quantum sheep - the poems (selection from possible 80 billion +)

Original starting poem:

Clouds graze the sky: below,
sheep drift gentle over fields,
soft mirrors, warm white snow.

Some variations created by sheep:

Snow clouds the sky over
gentle fields; sheep graze, soft
mirrors below drift warm, white.

Warm drift, graze gentle, white
below the sky, soft sheep mirrors fields,
snow clouds over.

Sheep below: over, drift soft snow
clouds. Warm mirrors graze white fields,
the sky gentle.

Why not make your own!
