Open Sorceror

Here’s a task. Don’t ask yourself who
Wrote this. It was generated
By a chatbot given a prompt.

Ask yourself which poet the prompt
Asked the chatbot to imitate.
Ask yourself which poet prompted—

The sunset blazes in the sky,
A fiery orb of orange and red.
The clouds turn pink and purple high,
As the day comes to an end, it’s said.

It goes on for three more stanzas,
Never getting any better.
Did you guess it was Walt Whitman?

Emily Dickinson? Li He?
We don’t need any more authors,
But we could use better readers.
