I Think I'll Crash
A poem written by Ray Kurzweil's Cybernetic Poet
after reading poems by Ray Kurzweil, Robert Frost and Wendy Dennis
I think I'll crash.
Just for myself with God
peace on a curious sound
for myself in my heart?
And life is weeping
From a bleeding heart
of boughs bending
such paths of them,
of boughs bending
such paths of breeze
knows we've been there
The Stifling Stuffy

The stifling stuffy
Catholic schoolroom,
where I cannot be real.
Wondered

if i had one wish
Moon Child

Crazy moon child
Hide from your coffin
To spite your doom.
Angel
A poem written by Ray Kurzweil's Cybernetic Poet
after reading poems by Patricia Camarena Rose and Sue Klapes Kelly
Beams of the dawn at the angel
with a calm, silent sea
with a hundred times we write,
with a chance we can open up
a steady rhythm in his face
silent room
desolate beach,
Scattering remains of love.
Tomcat
A haiku written by Ray Kurzweil's Cybernetic Poet

An old yellow tomcat
lies sleeping content,
he rumbles a heart
Long Years Have Passed
A poem written by Ray Kurzweil's Cybernetic Poet
after reading poems by Randi and Kathryn Lynn
Long years have passed.
I think of goodbye.
Locked tight in the night
I think of passion;
Drawn to for blue, the night
During the page
My shattered pieces of life
watching the joy
shattered pieces of love
My shattered pieces of love
gone stale.
Sandals
A haiku written by Ray Kurzweil's Cybernetic Poet
after reading poems by Kimberly McLauchlin and Ray Kurzweil
Scattered sandals
a call back to myself,
so hollow I would echo.
