Hi SS

I don't understand this one. Maybe I'm too old. I'm not sure what age group Gen Z is, but if you're talking about her attracting a lot of attention from Gen Z I agree.

She is mobilizing young voters. She's mobilizing more black voters, and she's mobilizing more Latino voters.

That is definitely true. Tell me who is Gen Z and what are they going to use after Z? Are they going to go to AA. Or just back to A because everybody from Gen A is already dead

Thank you for sharing

Yes, this is just poking a little fun at the fickle popularity trends of young people, and also drawing attention to the massive trove of cash raised by Kamala's campaign almost overnight.

These are the approximate periods assigned to the generations born over the last century and a bit. And yes they are recycling letters. Just wait a few decades and they'll think of Alpha is the oldest ever. OMG Grandpa's so old he doesn't have a brain chip!

Hi,
This is a political poem in perfect time to the election. It seems like you don't like Kamala very much. Someone had to take Biden's place after he bowed out. The vice president is usually the first choice.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day and week.
Good luck in the contest.
Joan

Hi Joan, thanks for writing. The VP is usually the first choice, and they also usually are elected in a primary. Kamala hasn't received a single popular vote up until now, and was given all of Biden's cash. We've never had a candidate who outspent an opponent by these sorts of margins. My landlady increased my rent by 40% so she could donate more money to the Democrats, so I've been required to donate thousands of dollars to Kamala against my will. I want a refund.

Hi SS.
You're welcome.
If that is the only reason you're landlady raised the rent, I think it is illegal. Maybe you should check out suing her.

To see a crown on her head makes me cringe. She represnts the elite at the expense of the American taxpayers. She robs the poor and hard working to give to the rich and rides on the back of human suffering. Give her a one-way ticket to tne Texas-Mexkco border with an overpriced coffee to go! Walz too.

A great offering in short verse poetry. Sending you my best for the contest,
Sally Law :))

Thanks Sally! I updated the subtitle to go with her crown : )

I really admire your talent using that AI program and your clever depiction of Kamala in your poem as "new flavor of the month." This is a novel slant to this Autumn 5-7-5 prompt. Rod

Thank you very much Rod. It's really not hard to do yourself. I got that image on my first attempt on the OpenArt website. In case you're interested, here are some details...

I just experiment with a bunch of different AI art websites and with each one, it's luck of the draw (pun intended) how it will do. One might be great at rendering but censor this or that; another one will only give you so many free images; another one might do anything you can imagine but the quality will be lower, and you could render it and maybe then pass that image over to another site to improve the quality. Sometimes I get exactly what I want and better on the first shot. Other times, it's hard.

For less controversial art, Microsoft Copilot is usually the best. But lately I have done very well with OpenArt, which is less censored than Copilot, and will not respond to any requests showing known people.

Some other ones I've used lately include Gabby, Gemini (by Google), Arcanalabs, and Dezgo. Some of the REALLY high quality ones I am not going to mention here, as you can guess what people use them for, and I'm not into that -- besides they would get me into trouble here : )

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain what you use. I will have to try this sometime. Rod

This political 5-7-5, Seasonal Special, has the proper formatting and takes this opportunity to take a poke at the VP/would-be president. Wonder why Gen Zs are broke?

Thanks Bill! This contest entry did not get far, but I might make money selling the design on a t-shirt...
