Maybe poetry
I like voice texting,
but it isn’t flawless.
I said fewer pictures
It heard if you were pictures
I said to search poems by category
It relayed to search homes by category
But maybe that is right.
How many poems have sheltered me?
In how many lines have I hidden
my cold frame? How many
have welcomed me—a seeker
on unknown relentless roads—to their hearth?
Maybe poetry is my real
estate, inviting and move-in ready.

Smart poem. I like the way you begin-relatable
Thank you for the feedback!
Fresh. I like the sound and sense of the last two lines.
Thank you very much!
Love! Ben was trying to tell me he had ‘a freaking huge splinter’ but Talk to Text heard ‘African sprinter’
Ha! Oh my goodness!
those misheard words to the machine that runs our lives are the fertile ground of modern poetry
Agreed!
Yes! Exactly right.
Nice.
