Stoop some, just to fit
Drawn-in self grows familiar
Fused bones can't unbend

Show me the lie:
✅ Prominent senator
✅ Famous for agricultural product
✅ Mountains

The big problem with AI images is they don't have enough fingers.
7? 8? 13? Is that all? Humanity didn't spend hundreds of millions of dollars building you just to generate images with *merely* double digit fingers on each hand. This AI is a joke

@deNew_John hey now. That's incredibly rude to the share of crypto that is money laundering

Cundle for blythe me
Fell a-swanteling by bye
Yea mistly vry dove

Chatting with an AI then realizing it's rude to be so informal when we haven't met before so I begin calling it Albert

My heart's blood flows out
Your hands red, wild eyes tearful
Yes, I forgive you

@skanman awesome. Yeah, it's an interesting format. Here's my approach

My only rule is: 5-7-5 no more, no less

I try to follow a format of situation, expand, subvert also. A strong subversion in the third line seems to be the most valuable piece.

There are a few other things I've found also
- smaller than you think, then even smaller - there is no room for anything complex or for explanations of simple things

- everything must be an already loaded spring - you don't have time to explain that a rock may fall. If you need something that falls, pick something the audience will already understand can fall they they can connect the dots

@skanman yeah, when I have a few extra minutes between things I'll pop one off. Usually taking a snippet or idea I overheard and reframing or expanding on it

Pretty little hearts
Unbroken, wait on my shelf
Held for true love found

Billion years to make
Unbroken chain of mothers
My gift to you, son

Cat tails rustling
Lakeside, where we have gathered
Blown away by wind

"What's she like?" I ask
"She believes in me," he says
"Bitch." I sign his files

Subtle differences:

Deer Xing: caution advised
Deer XXXing: parental guidance advised

Soft rasp and shuffle
Vast ocean of paper sheets
Red tape soothes to sleep

Beauty overwhelms
So vast, like a mountain range
Only seen from far

Crystalline pasture
Unbroken field of pure white

@skanman sure thing my good dude

Hit me, I'll hit back
If this world's going to fuck me
Go hard, make it fun

Needle pricks softly
Rich smell always in season
Stately evergreen
