The rest of the week he is taking up space
I am not sleeping enough to write thoughtfully about any of the things I would like to, good or bad. I just backed a Kickstarter from the Paleontological Research Institution because I think a stuffed plush Dunkleosteus is one of the nicest birthday presents I could give myself. The stack of library books beside my bed now contains a copy of Elizabeth Goudge's Green Dolphin Street (1944) and a matching DVD of the 1947 film is waiting on my desk because I have decided to do this thing to myself. It's true they aren't good, but I'm not actually sure these examples of AI-written poetry are Vogon-level bad; I've seen worse from teenagers who just discovered e.e. cummings.

Oh God, now I want to write ANDAN POETRY WARS.
I illustrated most of my stories from elementary school onward. This...may or may not have been wise. :p These days I figure if I ever make it to "good enough to make cracky cartoons with recognizable character designs," I'm probably fine.

(I still remember when I wrote "The Pirate Captain's Daughter," which features pirates who use poetry-magic to navigate, a reviewer complained that the story didn't include actual poetry examples. I thought, given how terrible poets many epic fantasy writers are, she would have been GRATEFUL I didn't inflict my poetry on the reader! Haha.)
