Poetry generation is a challenging field in the area of natural language processing. A poem is a text structured according to predefined formal rules and whose parts are semantically related. In this work we present a novel automated system to generate poetry in Basque language conditioned by non-local constraints. From a given corpus two Markov chains representing forward and backward 2-grams are built. From these Markov chains and a semantic model, a system able to generate poems conforming a given metric and following semantic cues has been designed. The user is prompted to input a theme for the poem and also a seed word to start the generating process. The system produces several poems in less than a minute, enough for using it in live events.
