What a creative write. Few words with much said. A true poet does Not need AI. AI, go far away.  Have a fun day writing away.........

Show don't tell. Excellent advice in prose, poetry, acting and dance. Honest expression can be cathartic, enlightening and healing. A witty, ditty__Robert

I always crack up when critics say "Show me, don't tell me." Show implies visual, impossible with print. In any case, dialogue in a narrative helps

Who knows? Know or not, we bare our souls in public. So brave we are. That fills in the gaps, goes a lot further with me.

Let the reader decide, but we poets all know it, it’s how we feel inside… Beryl
