If Anyone Cares to Know

Blog Posted:6/14/2023 8:11:00 PM

If you are reading this, I can assume you are at least interested enough about my poetry to appreciate further explanation about what I have posted so far.  

- The numbered poems you probably see at the bottom of the list are from my more ambitious collection based on the I Ching.  So far, I have posted 33 of the 65 total (1-64 for each hexagram and one for 0 which serves as a bookend). 

- Then a threw in a few random poems from a collection I called "Floatsam" for obvious reasons. These are Wind, Water, Fire, Stone, and Congeries of You.  They are, really, unrelated to each other; Written at different times about different women (or none). Any poem that wasn't intentionally written as part of a whole, I threw into this collection.  Of course not all have been posted yet.  I'll eventually get to them, I suppose, because I enjoy posting.

- There is a third bunch of poems fhat are collected under the name "Travelogue".  I was identifying them as I went in the comments, but I found it annoying that the site would alert me of my own poem so I stopped. You can, with a little effort, identify them yourself by the titles which I created just for this purpose (originally they had no title).  These were written for my wife during our courtship. I suspect that she appreciated the gesture more than the poem themselves though. So far, as of this writing, I posted: Gene Ratios, Emergent Syntax, Blessed, On Lunar Vegetation, Commandments, Weather Systems, Agricultural Tenets, Ornithic Anthropology, Procurement Statutes, Unfettered Floriculture, Rites of Ambulism, A Legal Framework, and Effort Prioritized. I have about another 9 or 10 from that collection pending to be posted. 

- Lastly, a word about the videos: These were created using a site called Pictory AI (app.pictory.ai). You copy/paste your poem and it will choose visuals for it and create a video. You have the choice of adding voice-over, either your own, or one of the many AI voices. I don't work for them or anything. I am just mentioning it if you are interested how they were done.  Every new post comes with a video, and I am doubling back when I can and adding video to previously posted poems (slowly), so don't limit yourself to only the new ones if you are into that sort of stuff.

Roberto thank you for sharing.. Great information you have shared. I am sure some here will look at this technology. It must be great to have those tech skills, I wish I had them. I will have to stop and read your poetry. Thank you for sharing your poems and helpful information for those interested in creating through AI. We all can use a little help even if it is from AI. Excellent blog...
