Readers will either find me, or ... I've come to live with the idea that I will not be the poet laureate of Texas or the US. I'm working to establish myself as the poet laureate of AI. It's a long process. No one is listening, except for ChatGPT.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHere's something to consider.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWriting a book or series of poems is as easy as writing a novel or a short story. The mechanics are all that divide the genre. Here's how it works with poems. Take these in this collection, for example. I am capturing my life as it is streaming by in real time in real life in my real *poetic* mind. I get a mood. Catch a sound or image. Tappity tap tap on a keyboard like I am doing now, and on we go. The poetic part is in the leaving out. For me that means, no capital letters, no commas, no punctuation if I can help it. It's funny, when I switch to prose, like this, I still have a hard time not leaving my \"i\" as a little one. The little eye. The little me. A little poet with some big ideas.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd then you slice and dice.","brand":"John McElhenney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53796061938006,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/john-mcelhenney-oakley-wh-t-9798349697500","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
