Oh
take me,
memories,
back to the days
full of youthful joy,
when hayrides feeding cows
put smiles upon our faces,
when times were simple and carefree,
and we were wrapped safe in family.
Take me back in time to sweet days of old.

Look at you! What a great etheree! It might amuse you to know that I asked ChatGpt to write an etheree, and the result was less than stellar. It knew that the lines needed to increase by the number of syllables, but it used eleven lines, and seven of them had the wrong number of syllables. Not only that, the sentiment was several levels below the worst greeting card sentiment. I don’t think we need to worry about AI ending up as the national poet any time soon!

We often believe that times were simpler back when – but only because those who loved us hide the complexities.
