Writing Prompt
Write a six line poem consisting of 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 9 syllables.

The first four lines rhyme or near rhyme and are all descriptive words. The last two lines rhyme and incorporate the first, second, third and fourth lines as the 5th through 8th syllables.

Example

Sowing
Hoeing
Growing
Mowing

Planting gardens, sowing, hoeing grounds.
Sunshine keeps all growing, mowing mounds.



Will AI ever work out how to help us distinguish truth from lies? Or is that part of the problem rather than a possible solution?
