Notes About The Poem

This Age

Age

Because I could not accept this Age,
It did kindly accept me.
Does this Age make you shiver?
It does, doesn't it, its true?

The geologic time that's really present,
Above all others is our era.
Now age-old is just a thing,
To get me wondering if and quiver.

I saw the Sad commencement of my generation,
Somehow I mourned the birth of the new.
Are you upset by how tragic it is?
Does it tear you apart too?

I cannot help but stop and look, at the wooly kid.
A kid who is ungrateful. a kid who is muddled, confused
A kid for whom we can have hope, however.
If we can see nurturing him through.

I tried A I generated writing. LOL..I worked on it to make it more my own. LOL..

Yes, i agree with you, i see that alot but i think its also part of how parents discipline kids, i see some kids who are not disciplined and just feel the same way. Absolutely love the way you’ve written this and it doesnt sound like AI at all to me. But i see your response to silent one and i understand why. Hope weather is now ok and you are doing well dear sara. Sending you light always

IE, I think a lot is going on in our society as a whole, like single moms trying to rear sons alone without the male role model, sometimes the mom is working two or three jobs to try to make ends meet, gangs, influence of bad TV programming, etc. No longer is the spiritual side of a child's life addressed for a number of reasons, etc. Thanks for the visit.

Ungrateful beings are everywhere. We need prayer.

I agree, Victor. Our prayers should be for local, county, state, and then our nation and world. There are still some who are on the right track though. We have a grandson who is a good young man thanks to his dad's influence. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K

What do you mean AI generated? How does that work? I know some people on here use it, I do not really agree with it, especially when people enter them into contests... I think AI lacks human emotion though...There is a sense of sadness and angst in your words my friend..

SO, Well, I typed in A I generated poetry and click on a site and put in some information and it came up with a poem which I worked with to make it my own. It did not sound very good at all when the AI wrote it, but with my tweaking it became better. I would not use one in a contest that would be wrong. I put in some words on that site to their questions then it wrote the poem. Thanks for dropping by. I wouldn't do one again for a while. I just thought I would see what might happen. Sara K
