A Gossipy Young Lady Known as Nell

A gossipy young lady known as Nell

Likes to claim she knows me well.

I remember Miss Jane

With her mean cane,

But I really don’t remember that Nell!

Late Autumn

On a day

In late November

A cold autumn breeze

Rustles through the trees

Seeming to say,

“A freezing December

Is on its way”.

The Fallen Tree

Do you remember how we

Sat on that fallen tree?

I love the wood

In which  that tree stood.

 

 

All must decay.

Though we had no love

To fade away.

Just my middle-aged lust

And fear of dust

 

 

And your need

To somehow feed.

Now that fallen tree

Reminds me of thee.

My Visit to Gloucester

When a young lady named Miss Foster

Said, “sir, come with me  to Gloucester.

Me and my girlfriend

Want a dirty weekend!”,

It ended with hot coffee in Costa!

What Happened When I Asked Google Bard to Write a Poem in the Style of Poet Kevin Morris?

Continuing my experimentation with Google Bard, I asked the AI to “write a poem in the style of poet Kevin Morris”. For any of my readers who are interested, you can read Bard’s poem here, https://g.co/bard/share/44ce659bcef2

 

I don’t think I need worry about Google Bard plagiarising my work, nor do I believe that any other poets need be concerned, at least for the foreseeable future.

Poetry and Google Bard

Yesterday (18 November), I spent a couple of hours experimenting with Google Bard. During my experimentation, I asked Bard to write a poem about a dissolute old rake. The poem, which had no input from me can be found here, https://g.co/bard/share/b6c44ae0e9c3

 

Whilst I don’t think Google Bard is going to become the next Poet Laureate, it is nonetheless interesting to observe how the artificial intelligence (AI) “composes” poetry.

In the Dark Park

In the dark park

A myriad leaves

Whirl in autumn’s breeze.

And optimists stress

The inevitability of progress.

But these fallen leaves

Do not deceive.

Home

I never count my steps as I pass

Along the churchyard path.

Though as I have past

By faded old gravestones

And seen the churchyard trees

Bare of summer’s leaves,

I have known all steps lead me home.

Dark and Light

I will close my curtain

And shut out the night.

But it is certain

That light

And dark

Will continue their fight

In my so human heart,

Until light and dark

Are swallowed by night.

On a Cold Autumn Day

On a cold autumn day

I find that time

Has stopped. But my clock

May be wound today.

Yet, one day

I will not

Know the day or time.
