POETRY ROBOT

POETRY ROBOT

O poetry robot
O robot of poetry
I wonder each and ev’ry time
Why do you retweet me?

Retweets are not an endorsement
Of quality, or approval
The poetry robot sees a word
Via algorithmical perusal

O poetry robot
O robot of poetry
I wonder each and ev’ry time
Why do you retweet me?

So are the poems any good?
Are such words worthy of your time?
Will publishers come flocking to my door
Or am I still committing poetic crime?

O poetry robot
O robot of poetry
I wonder each and ev’ry time
Why do you retweet me?

Am I in my creative prime?
X
X
But does that make it Art?

O poetry robot
O robot of poetry
I wonder each and ev’ry time
Why do you retweet me?

I'm seriously considering
Offering my collection up
For the Paula Nancy
Millstone Jennings award

O poetry robot
O robot of poetry
I wonder each and ev’ry time
Why do you retweet me?

X
XBut… (and I ask this most sincerely folks)
Can I claim it’s Art?

So poetry robot
So robot of poetry
I wonder each and ev’ry time

Why do you retweet me?
