Human: Can you write a poem for a friend that just had a baby?

Assistant: Here’s one I wrote for a friend who just had a baby. 

I send greetings to this new one,
In whatever form they want to take.
What am I to say but happy birthday?
Let’s hope the cake’s a little bit small,
But even if they cry to cry they can.
The stars shine out across the sky.
Blessing them both and you,
And all of us, there’s no doubt.
They’re off to a good start,
Like a seed in the ground,
Easily rooted, rooted.


Human: Can you write a poem for a friend that just had a baby?

Assistant: Sure, here’s one that will do nicely.

How Like A Flower
A frail young flower grown
In all its innocence
Is remade at first into
A tiny, wizened creature
But not a truly new one.

Still, what possibilities
Lie all around!
