I'm glad to see my readers grow
Numbers of readers, glad to know
What do I do right? Wonder why
I know - I shall ask AI!
Bad news, I do not have a lot
Most of my reader are just bots
But my poems are a success
I've got lots more bots, and not less.
Oops, obviously not less but fewer
Grammarly will correct my grammar
So, why waste - precious hours on this?
Will AI write posts quickly, for a kiss?

Artificial intelligence, dear
Are you smarter than me?
If you really are so clever, dear
Please tell me what you see
I think it should be smarter than I
Did you spot the error?
It is wrong. But can you tell me why?
I rely on AI.
Never mind, I can tell you why
You see, I's the subject
And me is the object
Not clear? Then ask AI.
AI is always there to help
Ai is always willing to share
AI is trained to say, 'Well done, dear?'
But does AI really care?
AI can improve my photo
AI's filters are trained to flatter
Duolingo says I've five out of thirty
But does that rating really matter?
Some say that AI's just a spy
Invading all my privacy
It keeps on asking where am I
Does it know too much about me?
I don't care how much it knows
If it helps me to be a winner
I'd love to have it dye my clothes
And order my favourite dinner.
AI means I am never lost
AI is my newest friend
Right now for very little cost
The novelty will never end.

What do I aspire to be?
A rhyming queen. So follow me.
I started this when trying to write a bilingual poem, which is more complicated, so I have put that in the next post.

Begin with the end in mind. For the first time I have made a physical framework for a poem. I started it in my head, with the rhymes. Then I wrote down the two magic essential words in alternating lines. Why stop there?
The simplest rhyme is a couplet. A sonnet has three four line verses, ending with a couplet.
I first thought of the scheme of a villanelle, which has sets of three lines, ending with a couple. ending iwth alternating rhymes, ending with a couplet, I can write a whole poem scheme with the word, or at least the rhyme choices, at the end of each line.
I could add a chart with columns and lines and the rhyming scheme, a and b, or starter rhymes, written in. You could take a traditional out of copyright song and remove all the words which don't rhyme, then either write a totally new poem with the original rhymes, or write in different rhymes, or all the words which rhyme.
Let's take Twinkle twinkle little star as an example.
.. .. .. star
.. .. .. are
, ,, , ,, high
.. .. .. sky.
Firstly, you could reverse the rhymes
are
star
sky
high
Or you could choose another set or words with the same rhymes
... car
... far
...why
... high
Or list all the possible rhymes ending with the same letters
bar, car, far, tar,
bar, car, far, tar,
buy, bye, die, fly, guy, high, lie, my, nigh, pie, rye, sight, tie (verb), tie (noun), vie, why
buy, bye, die, fly, guy, high, lie, my, nigh, pie, rye, sight, tie (verb), tie (noun), vie, why
Here's a parody of Twinkle, twinkle little star, same rhyming scheme for a cautionary tale. I didn't intend to write a cautionary tale, but the first line led to the whole message.
Too Fast
by Angela Lansbury
If you drive too fast in a car
Alas, my dears, you won't go far
Best case a wheelchair, worst case die
In imaginary cars flying through the sky.
Set this task to a class of 30 pupils or to a set of thirty people at a writing circle. Or a game at a Christmas party with a tiny gift of a notebook from Daeso as a reward for the best effort, or buy a set of notebooks online at collective or wholesale prices and give each participant a reward for attending and effort.
You might get several pedestrian or failed rhymes which attract polite applause or groans. But if you get just one great result, that is good for the writer, entertaining for the other listeners, and can go in the magazine about your ornaization's year's events.
