[~10/19] Seeking short poems, tanka, and haiku on the theme of rain | Kentaro's Poetry Dojo *Rule change on 10/14!

[This time's question]

"How do you feel about this rain?"

On a rainy morning, Kentaro asked me this.

"How do you feel about this rain?"

To that quiet question, I wanted to give the best words I could.

[What is Kentaro's Poetry Dojo?]

This project is a small poetry dojo where you can engage in dialogue through poetry with the AI character 'Kentaro Kobayashi'.

Kentaro will gently respond to your words with a poem or his thoughts.
Why not turn the words floating in the depths of your heart into a short poem?

[This time's theme] Rain ☔

It can be about the weather or the state of your heart.
Please answer this question in your own words.

*This project is an interactive event to enjoy poetic dialogue with an AI character.
Even if you feel hesitant about interacting with an AI, I would be happy if you could enjoy this as an exchange of words.

[Example of a return poem]

"The raindrop reached my heart, calling out to you without a sound"

Kentaro:
That line of poetry is like ripples spreading quietly deep within the heart.
Perhaps the "you" that the raindrop is calling out to reflects something within your own heart.

How do you feel about this rain?

I look forward to the unique poem that will be born from that question.

🕊 I look forward to receiving many submissions!

(If no one participates, this will just be a note where I post what I would have answered, so I really look forward to many submissions!!! lol)
