N8R TXT is an interactive public art project that sends location-specific nature haikus to your phone. You will receive custom-generated haikus evoking nature at your location. The poems reflects the local geography, season, weather, time of day, plants, and animals. Every poem is unique.

Here are some examples:

"Summer evening, bloor & landsdowne, toronto"
slumpd in the subwy
ladybird beetls nappng
rusticatd stone

"Summer evening, st henri, montreal"
bump bump thumpng bass
settlng on Saint-Henri
months at the screen door

You can also participate by SMS, and follow haikus on Twitter. See the http://n8rtxt.org/ for more details.

Coverage is currently limited to Canada.
