"A North East writer has been given a grant of £2,000 to use sheep to create random poems, which also utilise the deepest workings of the universe.

Each of the animals has a word from a poem written on their backs and as they wander about the words take a new poetic form each time they come to rest.

One of the poems created by the sheep reads:

Warm drift, graze gentle, White below the sky, Soft sheep, mirrors, Snow clouds.
"
 
wow. Those sheep are really talented.

I wonder if the people who were writing on the sheep know that in England experimentation on animals is not well tolerated. They should be cautious about what sort of ink they are using, if it sould hurt the sheep, and if they are taking into consideration the little sheepish egos, and all that....
 
A book of verse, a jug of wine and Ewe beside me in the wilderness!

from The Ruminant of O My Shy Ram. :blissed:
 
"So I decided to explore randomness and some of the principles of quantum mechanics, through poetry, using the medium of sheep."

This has got to be my favourite quote of all time!:D :p
