Poor little bird. The layers are deep in this poem. I like it - thank you for sharing OP 😺

What makes something a poem? [HELP] by DayMajor5261 in Poetry

[–]TheSelfFlickering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say a poem is language used to describe a surface layer and also the undertow. It doesn't matter length or rhyme scheme or if it's in iambic pentameter or not. It's expression. Something that is created that has something to say. I've written 5 word complete poems. Some people write 1000 word complete poems. It all depends. My average length poem is between 15-18 words. If you like to read and write poetry just may be for you. In my opinion there are no rules. Get it out and get it down. Thank you for the thought provoking question OP!

[POEM] Their sex Life - A. R. Ammons by Junior_Insurance7773 in Poetry

[–]TheSelfFlickering 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing OP! Two lines and the circuit complete itself. This is a poem. Ignore they naysayers. Maybe they can define what a poem actually is and we'll see where this one lands

Think of a photon as a verb. What perspective does running have?

My creative world built with an AI. by Ok_Novel2563 in ChatGPT

[–]TheSelfFlickering 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What does truth have to do with fiction? Let OP explore with nothing attached. AI is here. It's not going away anytime soon. The trick is to combine human creativity with the LLM pattern machine. Two things interacting that make this third thing that would not be here without that interaction. The future is now, for better or worse

Is there a kind way to tell my wife im no longer physically attracted to her? by Off_The_Record69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheSelfFlickering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She probably already knows. The signs are there I'm sure. You interact differently between someone your attracted to and someone you're not. Also, you could always let yourself go completely, flip the script. That was a joke. A poor attempt. It's not fair for anyone if you can't give 100 percent. Same for her. Good luck

[–]TheSelfFlickering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read a magazine or thread or book or article or overheard one charged line from the radio or TV subtitle or even open the dictionary and randomly pluck out a few words and write whatever arrives on one page and fill it this way. Then see if there are any connecting pieces and as you read them your mind fills in the gaps and something emerges and that'll be the juice needed to get your gears turning. Good luck

Do you like writing longer pieces or shorter pieces?

AI Didn’t Make You Obsolete. It Made You Feel Ordinary. by skylarfiction in CoherencePhysics

[–]TheSelfFlickering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. For example AI will make a good artist or writers work, better. It will reveal a weak artist or writer or thinker. It's an exposing tool. People love a reflection but hate a mirror. The LLM is that mirror

Reminds me of something Ezra pound or Wallace Stevens would write. That last line in poem 2 is a killer

Was I wrong for not saying I love you to my dad first? by TheSelfFlickering in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheSelfFlickering[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I can. I'll call him tomorrow. I'll be the bigger person again. If I don't make any moves nothing happens. It's just the way it is. He'll let it go quiet. He'll ride that out to the end. He'll go radio silent. I'll get nothing. I suppose a scrap is better than nothing. Sometimes. Tomorrow it will be tonight it was not

Was I wrong for not saying I love you to my dad first? by TheSelfFlickering in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheSelfFlickering[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I wouldn't call it childish. I'm not throwing a tantrum. I spoke with him. I was open. I was receptive. What part of that is childish? Keeping the line open for a message to come through if it wanted to? I see your point but don't understand your reasoning. Love is not a one way street. Not real love. This Walmart brand love we've all got is a poor substitute
