Simon (@sensor63) created this video in this tweet in response to one of my tweets. Did he know he had created a poetry machine? Probably.

I did a close read of his response but not before I had to slow it down. See the slower version below:
I used the slowed down version of Simon’s vid/gif as a poem generator. I simply let the stream of color and text wash over me like the Muse, words and tone reaching out and choosing me. Here is the resulting draft.
Last night,
windwindwind wild wind.
Please stay friend,
do or say,
but stay,
stay free
to wrestle
my bad dreams,
both lost and won,
one long goodbye,
a “so long”
to sweet sweet true love
her young blue eyes
parked
like a sheltered,
heavy remember.
I hear, too,
Tin Pan Alley songs:
bridging
refraining
chorusing
rhapsodies
in blue.
