Hello Friends! Hello Crypto-enthusiasts!

Here we are advancing in one more poem...

Poem # 12 / Poema # 12

Original Title / Título original:

Cabos Sueltos / Loose Threads

Introduction (Feel free to skip if you’ve read previous poems in the series)

As I’ve mentioned before, this series — Alchemy of Poetic Words / Alquimia de Palabras Poéticas — is a project I began in 2013. It’s a quiet collection of poems born from memory, emotion, and fleeting moments, carefully gathered over the years in my notebooks. Back then, I dreamed of turning them into a book, each paired with original illustrations by Salvador Jaramillo, a gifted designer and colleague from Mexico. Salvador illustrated works by Indigenous writers, and his art carries a deep, poetic connection to Mexican culture.

Salvador design’s are ended. Then, I am doing the experiment this time with the help of AI to generate an image for this poem number 11. In this one I wanted to play with words and put a kind of Neologism.

Therefore, here we are with poem #12.

Spanish Version

Cabos Sueltos

Cabos sueltos\ Las ideas sueltas hay que atarlas (como cuesta poder hilarlas). Los cabos sueltos hay que desatarlos, dispersarlos (es un peligro dejar cabos sueltos).

*English Version *

Loose Threads

**Loose Threads **

Loose ideas must be tied down (how hard it is to spin them into thread). Loose ends must be untied, set free — (it’s dangerous to leave loose ends).

The Experiment

I confess — I am surprised with the result from AI for the illustration, I was expecting to get something not making feel the idea of this mini-poem, as I was since poem #8, after no more illustrations.

Well, the illustration is not bad. It keeps the tone of the poem. And then the experiment continues with AI’s help. Not bad as a complementary image for my poem in this case; it adds a touch that makes me think of the paradoxical ideas.

In the meantime I am having fun with the results of images with AI for my poems. At the same time it makes recall those feelings when writing each one.

Thank you for reading — and for your support my walking into a dream.
