W3 Prompt #221: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Intro

Dear friends,

Welcome to our W3 Poetry Prompt, which goes live on Wednesdays at The Skeptic’s Kaddish.

You may click here for a fuller explanation of W3; but here’s the ‘tldr’ version:

Part I

The main ingredient of W3 is a weekly poem written by a Poet of the Week (PoW), which participants read before participating in the prompt.

Part II

The second ingredient is a writing guideline (or two) provided by the PoW. Guidelines may include, but are not limited to: word counts, poetic forms, inclusion of specific words, and use of particular poetic devices.

Part III

After five days, when the prompt closes, the PoW shall select one participant’s poem as the W3 prompt for the following week, and its author becomes the next PoW.

Simple enough, right?

Okie dokie ~ Let’s do this thing!

I. The prompt poem:

‘Screens of Tradition’ by Selma Martin

“El Gallo; La Dama; La Sirena; El Sol” — “¡Chalupa!”
A phone “Ping!” flashes—instant digital connection.
Grandmas and tech-kids play across a global screen.

II. Selma’s prompt: Let’s write a summer triolet

Summer is hot, sticky, noisy, melty—and perfect for a poem that keeps coming back around.

This week, let’s write a triolet: a playful eight-line poem built from repetition and rhyme.

[Read more about the form here]

The rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB.

The first line repeats as lines four and seven, and the second line returns as the final line. Only two end-rhymes are used throughout, so the poem loops back on itself like a summer thought you cannot quite shake.

Choose one of these summer moments:

• An ice cream cone melting faster than you can eat it
  My ice cream cone begins to melt
• The shock of jumping into a freezing swimming pool
  I leapt into the icy pool
• A mosquito staging a one-insect concert beside your ear
  A tiny buzz beside my ear
• The joy of biting into a cold slice of watermelon
  The sweetest slice of summer fruit

Or choose any summer theme you like: sunburn, sand in your shoes, a stubborn fan, a sudden storm, a lazy afternoon, or the glorious discovery of air-conditioning.

Stay in the shade, keep something cold nearby, and happy writing!

III. Submit: Click on ‘Mister Linky’ below

In order to participate and share a poem, open up this blog post, outside of the WordPress reader. At the bottom, just below these words, you will see a small rectangular graphic with the words ‘Mr Linky’. Click on that to submit.

Submissions are open for 5 days, until Monday, July 27, 10:00 AM (GMT+2)

Last week’s W3 poem

This week’s W3 prompt poem (above), composed by Selma, was written in response to last week’s W3 prompt poem, which Jaideep wrote:

‘Slant’ by Jaideep Khanduja

I’m doing great – that’s what I always tell
people, smoothing my face over all
the cracks, rehearsing calm until the
performance gets mistaken for truth.
My hands don’t shake, my voice stays even, but
that’s only the version I let myself tell.
Underneath it all, quietly, I miss you. I feel it
even now, though I keep bending the truth, keep leaning slant.

The #prompt tells the #AI to make an image based upon the episode. Three of the first four are acceptable. Not what I'm looking for necessarily, but the process is good because I am getting usable results immediately. #Web3 is more than #nfts and #cryptocurrency. I will do some research later. LOL

I keep hearing people in tech claiming in order to get slop machines (LLMs) to produce better results, sloperators must learn to prompt better, or even funnier way to put it - apply prompt engineering :blobfoxdetective:

This sounds fancy, MBAs, leads and managers clap, CEOs and CFOs approve spending on tokens :pointy_haired_boss:

While by definition, intelligent agents do not need "engineered prompts" - they process natural language. If you have to "engineer" the language - the agent is not intelligent. And the person who rents such agent - rather silly :neocopilot_woozy:

II. Jaideep’s prompt: Heritage-Tech Fusion

The Challenge

Write one three-line poem that brings together a cultural tradition and modern technology.

Your poem can be playful, thoughtful, imaginative, or personal. Each line may contain any number of syllables, so feel free to follow your own natural rhythm.

Structure

• Line 1: Mention something traditional from your culture, such as a craft, art form, festival, song, food, or dance.
• Line 2: Connect that tradition with technology, such as AI, an app, a digital tool, a virtual space, or a smart device.
• Line 3: Show how the tradition and technology can work together, inspire one another, or create something new.

Most importantly, enjoy exploring how the past and the future can meet in just three lines.

Example

Pottery hands shape ancient clay
AI learns patterns from grandmother’s designs
Digital vessels tell new stories

Last week’s W3 poem

This week’s W3 prompt poem (above), composed by Jaideep, was written in response to last week’s W3 prompt poem, which Jodi wrote:

‘Freedom’ by Violet Lentz

at fifteen
i didn’t question
your packing up my life
in a garbage bag
and sending me to gramma’s
i wanted my freedom
i saw being sent away
as you giving it to me
i thought i had won

at twenty five
i didn’t question
abandoning my marriage
and two children
to recapture the freedom
i perceived
as having been stolen from me
surely the end
would justify the means

at thirty five
i didn’t question
getting clean
i knew it was
either quit- or die
so i quit- because
too much freedom
had in the end
taken me hostage

at forty five
i looked into
the eyes of a woman
i had never seen before
she told me:

that fifteen year olds
don’t get garbage bags
full of freedom

that twenty five year olds
can disappear- but
never really leave-
(their children behind)

that thirty five year olds
never really get clean,,
they just quit using….

and that the only way
to ever really catch freedom
is to stop running…

You may click here for a fuller explanation of W3; but here’s the ‘tldr’ version:

Part I

The main ingredient of W3 is a weekly poem written by a Poet of the Week (PoW), which participants read before participating in the prompt.

Part II

The second ingredient is a writing guideline (or two) provided by the PoW. Guidelines may include, but are not limited to: word counts, poetic forms, inclusion of specific words, and use of particular poetic devices.

Part III

After five days, when the prompt closes, the PoW shall select one participant’s poem as the W3 prompt for the following week, and its author becomes the next PoW.

Simple enough, right?

Okie dokie ~ Let’s do this thing!

I. The prompt poem:

‘Slant’ by Jaideep Khanduja

I’m doing great – that’s what I always tell
people, smoothing my face over all
the cracks, rehearsing calm until the
performance gets mistaken for truth.
My hands don’t shake, my voice stays even, but
that’s only the version I let myself tell.
Underneath it all, quietly, I miss you. I feel it
even now, though I keep bending the truth, keep leaning slant.

II. Jaideep’s prompt: Heritage-Tech Fusion

The Challenge

Write one three-line poem that brings together a cultural tradition and modern technology.

Your poem can be playful, thoughtful, imaginative, or personal. Each line may contain any number of syllables, so feel free to follow your own natural rhythm.

Structure

• Line 1: Mention something traditional from your culture, such as a craft, art form, festival, song, food, or dance.
• Line 2: Connect that tradition with technology, such as AI, an app, a digital tool, a virtual space, or a smart device.
• Line 3: Show how the tradition and technology can work together, inspire one another, or create something new.

Most importantly, enjoy exploring how the past and the future can meet in just three lines.

Example

Pottery hands shape ancient clay
AI learns patterns from grandmother’s designs
Digital vessels tell new stories

Last week’s W3 poem

This week’s W3 prompt poem (above), composed by Jaideep, was written in response to last week’s W3 prompt poem, which Jodi wrote:

‘Freedom’ by Violet Lentz

at fifteen
i didn’t question
your packing up my life
in a garbage bag
and sending me to gramma’s
i wanted my freedom
i saw being sent away
as you giving it to me
i thought i had won

at twenty five
i didn’t question
abandoning my marriage
and two children
to recapture the freedom
i perceived
as having been stolen from me
surely the end
would justify the means

at thirty five
i didn’t question
getting clean
i knew it was
either quit- or die
so i quit- because
too much freedom
had in the end
taken me hostage

at forty five
i looked into
the eyes of a woman
i had never seen before
she told me:

that fifteen year olds
don’t get garbage bags
full of freedom

that twenty five year olds
can disappear- but
never really leave-
(their children behind)

that thirty five year olds
never really get clean,,
they just quit using….

and that the only way
to ever really catch freedom
is to stop running…
