I almost forgot To hang up an autumn moon Over the mountain. - Richard Wright

hang-up-an-autumn moon is an oracular CLI based on the late haiku of Richard Wright. This is the 'webapp' version of it.

Methodology:
When summoned, the oracle randomly selects three haiku from an internal corpus of haiku by Richard Wright. Then the oracle creates a little doodle of each haiku by passing segment of the text to an algorithmic art generator. The querent gets a three-card spread of the doodles and must select one. The oracle returns the card's full haiku and a judgment to help frame the querent's insight into the haiku.

Source material:
The oracle is based on a corpus of haiku by Richard Wright. Each haiku is attributed with a mode, either sparrow or intensifier, and a pair of judgments. The modes are similar to the major and minor arcana of the Tarot. Sparrow cards represent higher-order considerations and are actually all about sparrows. intensifier cards speak to day-by-day concerns and their haikus tend to describe the intensification of one natural element by another. The judgments also vary by mode: sparrow cards offer single subjective nouns for framing the haiku; intensifier cards offer very brief imperatives to help the querent ideate a course of action.
