Newspoetry founder and spiritual leader William K. Gillespie has revised 
some of his poems.  They are:

"And you arrive with your psychoses. ..." 10 March 1999
"The Mayor of the Moon is interested in development. ..." 20 March 1999
"Electronic Media Demonstrate Baffling Potential" (a.k.a. Omnifesto) 13 
July 1999
"At Machiavelli's" 11 February 2000
"Tinyman for President" 27 September 2000

These are all hypertextual, graphical poems whose look and/or content has 
been fiddled with.

which brings me to an assignment, or rather set of assignments:

write a newspoem:
* in the form of a hypertext maze (only one path of links gets you to the end)
* with a pop-under
* where every word is a link to another newspoem
* using nothing but HTML FORM elements
* using font color to convey meaning
* in a non-western script (Maiko?)
* about online privacy, but with code in it that collects data from its readers
