A.I. Says

Posted on by Pete 
An absence can be
Painful Scarring Horrendous
Or very welcomed

I sometimes plug my haikus into this graphic engine to see just what it makes of my words and to give me insight into the world we are making aided by A. I. output. The results can go from sublime to horrifying. When I plugged this haiku into the engine it produced such disturbing results I chose not to subject the world to this A. I.’s algorithmic nightmares. After four batches of nine results it finally gave me this one, in my opinion, usable option. The first set was produced by entering a more user friendly woo woo trope, but even that put some A. I. darkness on display.

I also sometimes wonder how my words are skewing the data set.

RDP Monday: ABSENCE

Bath

Posted on by Pete 
Sometimes you have to 
get out of the fantasy 
bath and dry off with 
the towel of reality.
No matter what. Don't Panic.

The Guide says a towel “is the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have … you can wrap it around you for warmth … lie on it … use it as a sail on a mini-raft … wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat … wave it as a distress signal in emergencies … and of course use it to dry yourself off, if it still seems to be clean enough.”

RDP Tuesday! Galaxy!

P.S. I write a tanka for a word prompt on Mastodon. Lo and behold, the RDP of the day is “galaxy”. Ain’t life grand 😁

the oranges of the 
species on display in one
who's missing a link
Sally's soup was thin
Stu's stew was thick and tasty
Mixed? Thick and thin grin
Breaking through the crust
of my inner life. Send up
a flare for pizza.
a blanket over 
my head won't stop the horror
behind my eyelids

once upon a time
winter grass was what was in
last year's heavy coat
put the nettle 
to the metal kettle 
said the blossom 
to the stem
"Tea time!" ah Clem

you never see the
pillow coming before the
night that has no dawn
🎼 I'm looking over
A short billed plover. That I've
never seen before🎵

nothing under her
sable coat, boss man's wife sent
my ardor soaring

The carrot loves you.
Now the trick is to make friends
with the big bad stick.

Goes by the name of Blizzard
Slithers o're the land

Early mourn dream gap
I hear the boneyard dog howl.
Not now big bad hound.

belief in the flat
earth balanced on a radish
in the middle rules
When the acid rain
Makes the fields start to fizz
The plop plop should come

a gentle rooster
bursting sounds like an unsure
cock-a-doodle-doo

Quince will make you wince
No matter how fine you mince
Better off to smash

🎼I like to ride my
icicle 🎵 I like to ride
my ice. 🎶 😣Oof!!! Chilly🥶

In my cellular drive for entropy
Whether I like it or not
All things eventually rot
Consume
Eliminate
Reproduce
Maybe win a trophy
With a human face
For stacking things
On top of other things
Just trying to leave a trace

Poe smoking Raven?
Said the white rabbit de jour
Still nevermore sure
