RE: Luge, A Nonsensical Freewrite Poem

in Freewriters5 years ago

In following the links you included in this post, I learn that @ecoinstant has "started a crazy new craze of rhyming banter...this involves commenting using any amusing rhyme structure....any rewards are automated but the judgment remains human... The subtle complexities of human word-play, with puns and allusions, homophones and homographs and downright jibberish, would regress any AI bot to the IQ of a grain of sand. Best left to humans."

Cool! Your beloved #haikubot (LOL) is proof of that. (Best left to humans.)

Sort:  

would you like to be a rhyme curator? @rhymebot

Me?? My degree is in English teaching, but poetry always eluded me.
Just don't ask me to grasp the symbolism and deeper meanings.
How much other work would I shirk to find time to curate rhyme...

@rhymebot detects a fellow soul,
a work shirker and rhyme-timer who's
taught students to use words for a goal.
What more could I ask for? We've nothing to lose.

It feels like I'm being courted--
the siren call of curator work
(which I'd sooner shirk)
could surely be aborted?
No? What would YOU choose,
dear reader-oos?

Aha! Did some searching.

Instead of leaving Steemit, many of us--BUILDERS--are working to make STEEM fun again.
Enter RHYMEBOT...

A @rhymebot comment curator need only reply to a fun, funny, punny, rhymy or even aliterative comment with @rhymebot within the comment. @rhymebot will loyally vote the parent of the curators comment where it was called.

I'll try it!
If it gets to be too much
I'll pass the buck
but I'd rather be a builder than a complainer.

Click on the link below for @ecoinstant's post on rhymebot:

ask @deirdyweirdy. She is excellent at it.

What about you?
I see you love poetry too!
@rhymebot wants comments, though.
Her votes for a post are too low.

What does a rhyme curator do? I'll go leave some ditties in the comments there today. I feel very inept at rhyming, so perhaps it's time I did something about that.
