I asked Artificial Intelligence to Paint Poetry

And The Result Is Shockingly Beautiful

Around 10 years ago, I wrote a fair bit of poetry. It helped me process trauma and depression. Back then, I let my creative spirit guide the pen. Today, I decided to let an AI wield the brush.

The results blew me away.
Here are 10 haunting examples from a collection of poems themed ‘Dance’.

1. Indian Rain

Image generated by Midjourney AI

Sailing through a drenched street
through neon light reflections
under an overlay of shifting silhouettes
of power cables like trees

midnight moonlight
Indian rain
a striking pose
a distant gaze
a yellow dress

the streetlights surrender
colors wrap around
as she swirls by

dance with me
through the density
leave a trace in neon waves
through this drenched city
in this forgotten dream
