The site pulls in tweets that include poetic hashtags such as #haiku, #twyric, #lyric, #poetry, #poetic, and #poem, among others.  The site then pairs the contents of that tweet with a related (by keyword, at least) image from Flickr. In mashing up those two, Twyric manages to create short, but beautiful, one-line visual poems.  The creators of the experimental art project say that the idea is to create a “background for contemplation.”</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B91F41F1-1C65-418F-BD01-BB6517B18A5D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
