Here’s new poem. I asked ChatGPT to illustrate it. I believe initially there wasn’t enough concrete imagery for it to latch on to. Our conversation follows the poem.
~ ~ ~
I live at the corner
of Crooked Tree & Branch
near Random Avenue & Marginal Drive
not far from Lost Nation Road
though no one knows how to get there
or how it was named
there’s no there from here anyway
so when I go I’ll go real fast
down Vroomin Road
foot heavy on the petal
mind easy in its load

me – please illustrate my new poem
Chat – It seems there was an issue with generating the illustration for your poem. Unfortunately, I couldn’t create the image as requested. Could you describe any specific elements or themes you would like emphasized in the illustration? This might help in creating a visual that truly captures the essence of your poem.
me – the street names are all actual streets, but they imply fantasy locations, so this needs to represent a non-logical unreal place.
Chat – It appears there was another issue with generating the illustration for your poem, likely related to content policy guidelines. To proceed, could you specify any adjustments or different aspects of the scene you’d like to focus on? This might help in successfully creating an image that meets the requirements and still vividly represents the essence of your poem.
me – This is getting ridiculous. There is nothing in this poem that could possibly offend any company policy. Just do it.

And . . . it did it. Created a fine image.
