This program searches through stdin for sentences that match a 5-7-5 syllable count and prints them out, formatted as a haiku.

You will need the cmudict syllable dictionary. Download it with:

curl -O 'https://svn.code.sf.net/p/cmusphinx/code/trunk/cmudict/cmudict.0.7a'

Example:

bash$ go run main.go </usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 |head -3
When we speak of free
software, we are referring
to freedom, not price.

Inspired by the algorithm behind Times Haiku
