STOKED
Stoke and the autumn wind are covered,
Your breath did beat on the sea.
This one was pretty easy, actually, and interesting. A mix of AI and words from 19th century poetry, the Poem Portrait tool is part of Google’s Arts and Entertainment effort. Type a word into the poem engine, take a selfie, and get a two-line poem supposedly developed around associations with your chosen word.
The hard parts: What will my word be? What will the photo be?
The glitch here is that Twitter cropped the actual poem in its resizing of the image to fit the Twitter frame.
I happened to have my wetsuit, gloves, and booties hanging on the fence outside. As my goal here is surf themed Daily Creates, I thought that might work well. What’s the word going to be? I thought of fin, swell, waves, and more. Then for some odd reason “stoked” came to mind.
I started the engine, entered my word, and snapped the selfie with the laptop’s webcam. Once I had a Portrait Poem, I downloaded it and added some Proof of Creation Date information. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
I notice that the tool recognizes where the portrait is and superimposes the poem text over it: Portrait Poem. Get it?
