Windward
a windward sapling
ballet on a twisted limb
pas-de deux, gale force
Dig Deep
focus, experience, feel
dig deep. into the energy
you've created, fractals
roots and tendrils
multiplying buds
vines and scaffold
stimulate, pleasure
fulfill, that is fill up
so you can engage
expand and grow
create some more
the sky
cannot be saturated
by cloud or sun
allow
the rain and solar
to come as they will
embrace the power
welcome the quench
the downpour
particles and ray
there will be no limit
to your height
no limit
to your blooms
dig deep, grow
to the sky
This Poem is a Meta Gala Gown
I have no fear that AI generated images will ever replace human art. Art galleries will continue to feature the works that took laborious effort and it will always take the inconsistent eye of the biological to find and accept something new. However, if you want quick and disposable pop art, there is nothing like getting Grok to take out the grunt work for you. You got an idea and little patience and are willing to count fingers, you can get some pretty nifty images.
There is little space for anything else on social media Met Gala night. It is all about the fashion and being seen. You simply cannot fight and so instead join it with the help of some ideas and the virtual. You will note there is a message each of these images. I consider them visual haiku. Feel free to leave your interpretation of each or any in the comments.
Messenger'd
love messenger’d
via pollen and fluff
dandelions, pines
even great oaks
have RSVP’d
yet, willowy you
remain the hold out
Airborne
cherry blossoms
airborne seeds
nebulae blossom
sprout stars
in my dreams
Poplar
poplar seeds
in the wind, the gutter
a whispered elegy
to Spring
swallowed by the sewer
a lost galaxy of life
it won't be missed
Daisies
daisies
in a tempest
he loves me not
still, it is a sunny day
April Daffodil
April daffodil
highest vantage point
up front
earliest demise
Grow the Magnolia
the dark wind is still sharp
but nature has endowed
fine and abundant lanugo
to ensure infancy warmth
bud and expand
in your delivery blanket
you must if you are to bloom
coercion, to stay small and hard
will abort your nature, your time
compliance, that you not grow
so others will not be shaded
ensures the death of all
break free
spread your scent
your bravery will be awarded
with affluence and beauty
with the return of Spring
aestate novum
the promised bounty
of the autumnal harvest
your courage honours
those who came before
deepens the roots
grows the magnolia
grants a second flowering
continues creation
protects nature
you must come out
say what must be said
affluence exist only
in truth
