Thought it would be fun to see what you all come up with on a whim. Try not to think about it too much; the spontaneity is what makes it fun!

Mine:

Darkness on sunny days, brightness in the dark. Every day.

Too tired, No motivation. I retire early to my mansion.

Isn't this haiku?

Wait, no, that's with syllables

My bad, continue

"Give me a ten word poem", they said.
Fuck that!

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

I hadn't started formulating yet, by this is the poem I wanted to write. Thank you!

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No.

I won't.

Why should I?

I refuse on principle.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago

Roses are red, violets blue. Some poems rhyme, this one doesn't.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I skipped breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Now I am drunk.

It sounds like you had barley sandwiches instead of food.

Baby shoes for sale, never worn.
Footless baby was born.

Ten-word Haiku:

Summer heat
Gives way to Autumn chill
While I nap

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I sit, pooping.
The cramps
come in
waves.
Send help.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The apparition of these faces in a loo: Petals on a wet black poo.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

This ten word poem
Ends a little early

[–] iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Sure, absolutely:
"Give me a ten-word poem"
Magical Haiku

The world is ending

And I wish you were here

Enormous potential inside all of us.

Too bad.

Capitalism.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

I would give you 10 words but it's coffee time.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

There once was a lark. It was at the park.

Tanned arms, skinned knees, bug bites
Summer leaves its mark

[–] Nefara@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Be grateful, I tell myself
But the longing doesn't listen

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Take the train to Spain. They have such lovely terrain.

Good morning ChatGPT, Give me a ten word poem please.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Maybe the feeling
Didn't come from you,
But from me.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

How do i work?
What am i worth?
Dissect me.

"Why do people put question marks at ends of statements?"

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago

Problems aplenty

No solutions coming, so

Eat pie, write haikus

Fear not, the Cheeto Chimp, his death is likely near.

Fog in the night, Makes the moon shine not bright.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Why? I mean, you could just write it yourself, no?

The sun shines Brighter Than any evil thing can withstand

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Qwen 2.5, running on my laptop, had this to say:

"Moon shines bright, stars dance in the sky."

Not very poetic if you ask me. I guess you used a similar LLM.

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

That's eight words.

Tracks for an LLM.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

And it's only 8 words. Stupid robot.
