“What was that?”
Nothing answers back.
“That was what?”
Answers nothing back.
The words reverberate.
The sounds
Reverb-
er-
ate.
“Who is that?!”
They scream.
“Reveal yourself now!”
Back answers nothing,
“That is who?!”
Like an owl.
“Now yourself reveal.”
Left is now right,
Penguins fly at the north pole,
Polar bears habitate
Balmy beaches,
And milk sits well
With a lemon,
Colored tangerine.
Can you imagine the scene?
Can you imagine
The sacred
Discarded
For a tangerine dream,
Where victims scream
Into cauliflower ears
Unable to hear
All because they
Fear
Their own words—
In every way—
Echoing around
Them?

Familiar words maybe it was an echo I heard before or maybe just déjà vu nice poem Tristan

Good to read you again Tristan. Quite taken with your very colorful posted image as well. All the best.
Awww. Thank you so much, Cassie! I truly enjoy your visits by to read and engage. I am very delighted that the poem resonated. I am truly thankful for you and your feedback, always! 🙏❤️
Right at the start you say "words reverberate", then you proceed to make them do exactly that. Nice work.
🤗 Thank you so much for catching that! I am truly glad the poem resonated! Your time and feedback are always appreciated Dan! ❤️🙏
Did AI create this scene? I can only imagine the humorous prompt. Echoes remain of what once was... great poem
The image…yes! Lol! 😂 Never the poem, obviously. Thank you so much friend! Much appreciated! I always appreciate your time and feedback! 🙏❤️
I had a sneaking suspicion....otherwise I was looking for imperfect Photoshop evidence! AI cannot write quite as well as you can, don\'t worry!
LOL! Thank you my friend. I definitely knew you meant the image...but to clarify for posterity's sake! LOL! I do like trying to see what image AI can come up with to represent my poetry. A neat feature...even if imperfect! I do use Adobe Firefly through Photoshop...so, you were spot on there! LOL! But yeah, that image had me rolling! 🤣 Thank you again, for engaging both on the poem and the picture! 🙏❤️
for the sake of artists, I must thank you for using Firefly because it is extremely ethical in paying artists for their works that are incorporated into the AI generated images. (an employee explained it in depth to me that they've been working on it since 2015, but he went to work on someone else when I told him I already used Adobe products!) I have no idea if engagement on this website works the same way it does on other social media, but if it does, i've got your back! XD
Yes, and I am an artist myself...aside from poetry...and certainly appreciate the finer points of that. I have been an Adobe Photoshop user for decades and am glad that Adobe is doing it THE RIGHT way. Thank you again, friend! I truly appreciate you! 🙏❤️
