You might be interested in the shuffle operator plugin
<https://mklauber.github.io/tw5-plugins/#Shuffle%20Operator>, which can
accept a seed parameter to avoid this unexpected-change problem. You would
do, e.g.,
<$list filter="[tag[*poem]shuffle{$:/seed}first[]]">
...and then have a random button that updates the seed. The order of the
inputs will stay the same as long as the seed is the same.
