Challenge #202: Love Poetry

A solution to last week's challenge can be found here

 

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you're probably thinking about how to share how you feel with that special someone.  Why not try to express your love with some poetry?

 

In this challenge, we'll take some inspiration from a poetry legend: William Shakespeare.  Create an app to create your perfect love poem with a few custom tweaks...Mad Libs style!   Feel free to use Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 (provided in the Start File) or another of your favorite poems as your base.  Then, add  Interface Tools (Text Boxes will come in handy for this!) to allow a user to infuse this poem with their own expressions of affection.

Just understanding the game was hard enough, let alone the app.

I used google to fill in the blanks. I used reference shortcuts to pass the data directly to the text input tool.

Fun challenge! Apps are truly the best! How did you all know my favorite game as a kid was Mad Libs!?!?!?

My workflow went through several iterations and probably could go through more.
