AI poetry defaults to greeting-card clichés. This prompt demands concrete imagery, a specific form, and two variations, which pushes past the generic and gives you options with genuinely different feeling.
How to customize it
- Specify the form; free verse and a sonnet read completely differently.
- Give personal details for a poem meant as a gift.
- Pick the version with the freshest imagery, then tweak lines.
Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
