Why You Should Write Out Lyrics to Songs You Like as a Songwriter
If you're anything like me, you spend/spent a lot (I mean a lot) of time in class growing up writing the lyrics to your favorite songs on hand outs and in notebooks during class. Sure, sometimes I drew eyes or those 3-D boxes, but mostly I just wrote the lyrics to "All Too Well" by Taylor Swift and marveled at their beauty.

Dana CrandellPublished about a year ago in PoetsThe Art of AI: Exploring the Intersection of Creativity and Technology
Art has always been a reflection of society and its cultural norms. As technology advances, artists are constantly looking for new ways to express their creativity and push the boundaries of what is possible. In recent years, we have seen a surge of interest in the intersection of art and artificial intelligence (AI). While AI has become ubiquitous in our lives, there is still very little understanding about how it works. Some artists are using AI as a tool to create new forms of art, while others are using it to explore the existential questions of free will, human/machine will, and perception.

J. Delaney-HowePublished about a year ago in PoetsLet's Talk About Tautograms
A tautogram is a type of wordplay where all the words in a piece of text start with the same letter.

In this resource, we'll discuss the unique value of tautograms for writers and provide some steps for deciding which letter to use.

Dreams drape deep dozing… Do dreams disclose deep divination? Does deciphering dreams divulge deep desires? Do dreamscapes design direct diversion?

The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. Through the worn silver, as if gazing into a neighboring den of sin, I was able to make out the shape of a woman with spidery fingers, her dress a brown, shabby muslin. Her hair like sullied snow.

Centina Alexa König-WeichhardtPublished about a year ago in Poets"Album All Timers" in 1972 and Today
Digitzed rare magazine issues in the OG Collection contain a wealth of information on popular culture trends from the month and year of each issue. One such list, of the first 41 "Penthouse Album All-Timers" provides the perfect source content to see how AI tools such as ChatGPT analyzes materials and extends the reasoning. This test further highlights the difference between AI and human feedback, as ChatGPT successfully identifies common elements but cannot recommend based on the feel of music, and presents its findings in a format similar to a high school topic-sentence heavy essay.
The Last Weekend at Home
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I should have noticed it earlier, but I was too obsessed with my own dashing looks to even consider it. If I had not been so fixated on my chestnut colored hair, dreamy chai colored eyes, and strong European features, I may have been able to stop what eventually overtook my life.
