You’re absolutely welcome, Sue.
I think it may have been the allusions to hearts (yours and god’s) in the respective poems that made me connect the two. These illustrative extollings on love make for simply wonderful poems and seem to be firmly in your wheelhouse.

I do not know what you are asking. This site is for artist and art appreciators, if you want to receive credit for your work then please do the actual legwork to earn validation but do not beg or request it of others without making the effort to expose your craft to a wider audience, it belittles you and diminishes what’s been achieved by those who did not need to stoop to conning others for recognition. There seems to be a movement afoot to discredit and strip the integrity away from this site –that I still enjoy– and I won’t willingly contribute to it falling into disrepute. I politely and respectfully ask you to not continue to behave this way here. Thank you

I am wondering myself if the very access to AI right here on the site (AIDA, generating an image or poem art, or making a poem through active suggestions) has proven too tempting and tantalizing to not fiddle with. If it ain't fixed, someone else will find ways to exploit it....

I'm sorry for the dissension surrounding the last contest....I can certainly see your justification for feeling discouraged because, you wrote a sturdy short story with pace and suspense that was a fun read, whereas the 'winning' work wasn't even a story. I have been apprehensive to join one of these competitions and it looks like with good reason. I hope there will be a way that quality works get recognized in the future.

has it been vetted this was AI generated?
I must admit, it turned me off the second l finished the first stanza and was the exact thought l had ...you can also tell by the divided reaction it elicits: the uninformed think it is avante garde and those of us who’ve been exposed to genuine, intellect-tickling poetry can see it for the dumpster drivel it actually is. thank you for speaking up, Jon, but l fear you may be right about the poetry team not catching it.

I think Orson Wells had a motto that echoes the vibe of your poem here....l may not resonate strongly with it, but l see how the gears are falling to get you here.

I can’t get a bead on what this was about but even so, it makes a poetic splash.
