Dead Poets SocAity
Chat GPT is all the hype. So, having seen the leaps in the quality of AI-generated art, I decided to try some writing with the OpenAI chat tool as my buddy. And… my mind is blown. I gave the AI short prompts to see if it could generate some compelling poems in the style of different famous and amazing dead poets, but using modern-day topics…

Ice crystals [poem]
Preamble: I found a lid of a food container in the freezer with beautiful crystaline structures. So I was inspired to write a short poem. Magnificent, bright, white, and pure, they’re reflective of our divine nature. Like a bloom, they burst forth with grace…

The Hanged Man (a poem on deviance)
Hey friends, The Hanged Man, as a symbol (best known from tarot card decks some people use), represents, to me, the value of seeing the world in a different way. But this different view also comes with a few sacrifices. For example, having a different view makes you an outcast, deviant, by nature…

"Children" by Khalil Gibran
Ver ahora (1 min) | As a parent, I really love this poem by Khalil Gibran, so I narrated it (as a good practice to use my voice better). Enjoy! Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you…
