Give me a ten-word poem?

Thought it would be fun to see what you all come up with on a whim. Try not to think about it too much; the spontaneity is what makes it fun!

Mine:

Darkness on sunny days, brightness in the dark. Every day.

Roses are red, violets blue. Some poems rhyme, this one doesn't.

It makes zero sense
To end with suspense
That's not very nice, so fuck you!

Ten-word Haiku:

Summer heat
Gives way to Autumn chill
While I nap

I sit, pooping.
The cramps
come in
waves.
Send help.

Qwen 2.5, running on my laptop, had this to say:

"Moon shines bright, stars dance in the sky."

Not very poetic if you ask me. I guess you used a similar LLM.

zakobjoa@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y

That's eight words.

Tracks for an LLM.

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y

And it's only 8 words. Stupid robot.
