Thanks for letting me know. I have only run it on windows and have not had the issue, but I will work on trying to figure out what is going wrong with the sound.

For this it is based on the current line and not the previous. I would like to explore the idea more with longer poems (outside of the jam without the pixel limitations) where you could build one line to the next trying to have some consistency in theme. It would be fun to explore that and possibly provide more choice in switching out specific words or directing where the poem might go thematically.

I get that, I just go with poems are subjective so it is hard to really know what the queen likes. Thanks for playing.

I have a set of rules that judges them, but ultimately, it is kind of both subjective and random what actually makes a good poem. The queen has her system, but it doesn't always match perfectly with what I think is good and bad.

Ultimately the score comes down to 

0 - Pts for a poem that has a bug in it (some error message or unspecified words)

1 - Pt for a poem that doesn't fit a theme

3 - Pts for a poem where the words "match a theme" (animal, nature,...)

But it can be hard to tell if they match or not and sometimes those that don't match can be more intriguing than those that do.
