I created this poem entirely from lines generated in a poetic line generator. In no way do I claim this as my own poetry, but it does have a similar feel to a lot of the abstract poetry that I have written.
You can check out the poetic line generator that I used right here: Poetic Line Generator
Go ahead and let me know what you think. Are the robots going to be taking the poets’ jobs any time soon?
The Memories of Pain Embrace in the Water
Two figures of love turn after the storm.
Your oldest friends of words sleep amongst the
Shadows. Shapes of summer echo like a
Dancer alone on the stage. The leaves of
The soul sleep inside the meaning. Men dressed
In the color of the dance reach stillness.
The trees of harmony vanish like a
Child. The oceans of desire join in
The insect air. Your oldest friends of tears
Cry in your forgotten dreams. The seasons
From your past whisper inside the meaning.
Two figures of wanting echo beneath
The surface. Some of the waves of wanting
Breathe sensuously. Poets of time touch
The meaning. The children of winter speak.

Good writers borrow, great writers steal, and lazy writers let the robots do it! 🙂

I disagree. It’s the bad writers who steal – and the lazy writers who borrow.

”Good writers borrow great writers steal.” Is a T.S. Eliot Quote. I think he meant it as a joke.

So what is the theme/topic/lesson/emotion of the poem? But it does sound like some word scrambles I have seen labeled as poetry. Thanks for leaving me a like today.

The theme/topic/lesson/emotion of the poem is up to the reader. I let the poetic line generator dictate the words and their order. I only arranged them into the shape they have.
I am of the opinion that the meaning of poetry or any artistic work is completely generated by the reader. And I think my point of posting something that was randomly generated was to show that there could be meaning in something that does not have a thinking author.
I don’t know. It was a long time ago. I write in a much more realistic fashion these days, and I think poems like this have merit. But these days, I write to be understood and enjoyed. And not so much to try to prove some kind of a point. Thanks for the comment. It was nice to take some time to reflect on what I do as a writer. 😀

It’s not a bad thing unless robots start replacing writers, as you pointed out. LOL

With the recent advancements in AI writing programs, I think the robots are on the verge of taking over. lol 😀

God, I hope not! They will never replace human creativity because humans are unpredictable. But, if they do somehow, that’s not a world I want to live in.
