stuck on the tutorial stage
these poems are dying
falling in the forest without a word –
thoughts written on the page
disappear into the ether
unheard

I love your reflections, Shaun, both “ars poetica” – a poem on a poem – and your sentiments on the great value of patience. Superb!

Profound and poignant. Our words are falling, one letter at a time into the hands of AI.
