      THE SADIE PROBLEM

      This is in reference to the poem I made called Sadie Winters is not real. (Now deleted)It's based on an episode by Rick Beato (youtube) in which he created an AI character named Sadie Winters who is a fictional...

      • If you follow Rick Beato you must be a music enthusiast.
        I have seen Rick discussing the impact of AI in the music industry and even he has said it’s getting harder to identy human from digitally created music.
        The same can be said for any ‘writing’ site….who is doing the writing.
        I for one, would never post an AI produced piece without declaring it.
        Sometimes, I’ll write a piece, get AI to tidy it up and then post both versions and let others decide which is better.Usually, it’s the AI free version .
        Its a crazy old world.🌞

        • Yes it is, Peter. I’m a drummer of 52 years. Thanks for the comment.

      • Hell yeah, Beato, has a great show. Appreciate you.

      • There a few things in life I detest more than AI .. and I can only think of four members of my own species that fall into that category .. All of whom are supposedly world leaders and one of which has no intelligence whatsoever, let alone artificial .. 😎👍I found this to be a compelling read which could prove write for further debate .. Neville

      • I fear this is going to be a case of “the internet is forever”. Once it’s been used to train an AI, which somehow it seems like it already has, I don’t think deleting it will remove it from its “memory”. We’re entering a brave new world of technology and I’m quickly starting to feel very unprepared for it.

        • I can relate to your feelings, Green. Thanks for the comment.

      • Powerful and poignant

      • This has a surreal aspect to it. The iron tasting like memory is brilliant. Mind sees blood

      • Brilliantly penned, Drieks. Into the book it belongs! Phenomenal lyrics my friend especially that chorus, love the drive of the musical arrangement, the beat is almost trance like. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

        Damian

      • Thank you Damian! 🙏🏻

      • This is awesome! I’m sorry I’m late to this post!!
        Just wow!!

      • I can’t thank you enough for your beautiful words. I am pretty bad at accepting compliments so bare with me.
        Also, english is not my native language so if I say something that doesn’t make much sense, I apologize!

        But thank you for saying all this to me. Truly.
        And no, I do not realize I help people through my words but it is really nice to think I can/do.

        ❤️

      • That’s one helluva wicked woman you just poemed Damian .. way to go my friend .. if you would kindly send me her coordinates I will stop by and convey my regards .. Neville

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That she was, her coordinates were lost in the late 90’s. lol. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I love this, Damian. It reminds me of “Witchy Woman” by the Eagles. 🌾🕊️

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That’s high praise, and good company. What a lovely comment. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I wish I could hear the music behind it. Perhaps someday we’ll get a glimpse of your energy and fire within your lyrics. Good one, Damian.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Well through GarageBand and Logic Pro, I’m working on that. lol. The problem with not being able to play an instrument, is that it only leaves a few options. So I’m working on a solo album to give these old lyrics a home, there will be new lyrics as well. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I sincerely hope this one makes the album cut! I so badly wanna hear it! It moves like a snake, undulates down the page. Perfect for the lyrics, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with lyrics my friend. I plan on this one making the cut, I’ve always wanted “Wicked” to have music again. It had music in 97, but it was never recorded. Thanks for your continued support it means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • This is fire, friend. Everyone loves a wicked woman.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s the theory.. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Powerful work.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I can hear this playing in some club… maybe even a strip club!? LOL
        It has a great beat to the lines. It’s also very entertaining! Awesome job Damian.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I try, I always write to the beat in my head. Maybe a strip club, or some other place where human beings gather. lol. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Killer piece dude. You’re a talent my friend.

      To The Point

      Not really sure how to feel about it. There's something moving in the air. I hear it like a syncophant song, wondering if I do or dare.   Accusatory words written in code still crush the heart of the strong. If you're the one being bowed...

      • Powerfully penned, Alexandria. Excellent write my friend, love the layers in this. Appreciate you.

        Damian

      • Brava! That last stanza blew my mind!

      • This screams with such a powerful quiet strength and says so much with a surprisingly few amount of words.

      • Always remember. It takes strength to be gentle and kind.

      • More please! I understand this well. Slight empath – had to be able to read a room to survive. I can feel the hate and the love and ALWAYS know when to leave.

      • This poem makes me think of several things at once. A relationship in which one partner tries to dominate. The other wants an equal split or a literal split.
        In a house, the rule has to be balanced. A back and forth, not all take and no give.

        But this also can relate to the current political situation. The one seeking power and crush all in his way. We don’t want to be ruled like that from that house, either.
        This is good stuff…Opening the doors to varied interpretations allows readers to see what they will for themselves. And that is good poetry.

      • We’re moving in the same direction S …
        Fear not
        You’ll know when it’s right
        Ok ?

      • Chère A.,
        Hope this finds you well?!

        Over here it is 7 in the morning and I played our coop on earphones.
        We’re trekking again.

        This beautiful poem of your slipped through the cracks. I’m really sorry for that.

        Cause I remembered your remark of you being on StarsRite too.
        I was brought up with the ‘if a girl says no, she means no’ principle. So, if you want to write only one poem, I have to settle for that.

        But I hope that I can lure you to write a poem again!

        Our coop drew 4.685 listeners* so far, so may I hope for another one? In NL*
        Anyway, I wish you a beautiful Sunday.
        Warm regards, Gus
