Printer's Devil

A Sonnet

An AI Generated Image

Let it get weird, confusing and obscure

Use the vexing, esoteric diction

Infect imaginations; give no cure

Generate a poetic addiction

End a line with a preposition to

Vex pedants and incur their pompous wrath;

To boldly split an infinitive, you

Adamantly refuse to do the math

Unleash a metaphor and ride it all night

Treat a simile like a prisoner;

Make your text a synecdoche for spite

Play the part of a sinister scrivener

Write not to delight, but to befuddle

Offer no tidy answers; just trouble

Sonnet
