I had the ChatGPT AI from OpenAI, which has been all in the news lately, respond to one of my more popular poems, “Self-Concept Commutative Telegrams”, and later had the DALL-E 2, also from Open AI respond pictorially. Below are some of the results.

Iris of the babbling brook Loquacia
Iris of the babbling brook Loquacia A checkerboard pattern of climbing vines says ‘no, this is where it’s at, like it or not’, and in a moment without thought, we follow.
