In response to "Conclusions"

Indeed, good questions! I'm glad your students were so engaged and also faced the truth of the difficulty!

In response to "The Secrets of AI"

Good call. Suspicion is here to stay.
When I first heard of AI, I rejoiced. Now, I'm not sure at all. Not AI, as an entity personally, but the companies who use it and do not train their employees well enough so they learn to use it for everyone's benefit.

I love how this creates beauty and maintains suspicion at once!

In response to "Taking a Shortcut "

I love the way that the narrator has slowed down and realized what she was missing by moving easily. Beautifully done.

So, AI's a poet, attempts to show it.

In response to "The Secrets of AI"

Ai is creepy indeed. The sentences it spat at you make me shudder, like greeting card verse both vapid and vaguely sinister. I think I too would, strangely, thank Ai for its efforts!

In response to "Taking a Shortcut "

I love the determination and the grit here. Whatever one can do and does it is beautiful.

In response to "Taking a Shortcut "

I love how the ending echoes the earlier musing - determined, stubborn, foolish - and the two kinds of pain...whatever the case, you've brought beauty into an awareness of what once was and what can still be, despite the definitions.

... Not that long ago, I would fly / through such space without thought.

Ah, the things we take for granted when they're effortless.

In response to "brief warm hiss "

Ah, sorry about the date/time complications at the Dew Drop! The poems are welcome at any time!

Love this wonderful sound poem! And the coincidence that this morning I wrote a kissing poem, and now I find a kiss in your hiss poem!!
