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.)
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...
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.
