Notes About The Poem

The Beatles Lay it to me Poetry Contest.Sponsored By Charles Messina

Song chosen Yesterday 06/27/25

Yesterday

No longer can I write for soup
Not even a poem on poop
I'm cheating I'm using AI
If challenged of course I'll deny!
Aliens whisked my brain away ...
Was normal until yesterday!
My notepad is now firmly shut
I'm bereft, my brain is kaput!

Jan, at least your sense of humor remains! Personally, I think there are enough of us honest people here that we can enjoy. Those of us who published books know how it goes for real. There are no shortcuts in life. Eventually, every issue a weak person seeks to avoid will come back to haunt them. Meanwhile, you are bringing all kinds of smiles! Take care!!!!

So true. We learn to deny, affecting our values and brain is kaput. So, AI may transform poets to zombies. So scary. I love your poem. A great entry for the contest my dear poet friend Jan. Good luck! Thanks for sharing. More blessings! Hugs

love the comment Len yes AI transforms poets into brainless zombies but plagiarism turns them into criminals for theft of the words of another and it needs to be stamped out on the site:-( hugs Jan xx
