Oh splendor of sunburst breaking for this day
wear on my way my hands once more on the hill and my wife
and yet it is not so much for the woman sake I came to true life
but against that just proved right wrist
who like a rubber curried the woman from my house

You could feed your poem through that filter if you want to keep experimenting with derivitave poetry. I’m pretty sure your cute little *** macintosh has VR built in.

Interesting question about whether to credit google. I'd say no more than a thesaurus or a set of fridge magnet poetry. More flavorful and evocative in the final version.
