I know of work done in this area by J. Ruiz de Torres. The program
was written in APL/PC and generated blank verse in Spanish.
A book was published describing the system (also in Spanish):
"El Ordenador y la Literatura" (J. Ruiz de Torres), Siglo Cultural,
Madrid, 1987.
The program had a set of definitions of grammar structures (correct
sentences) and long lists of words. The result was quite
impressive, at least the first time you saw it.
