M-m-m here's a Sonnet that reflects upon the Machine and how it's marching on - a chilling tone is exuded here - much to ponder here especially the couplet -well done, Should make it to the winner's enclosure.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and big sixer, Zanya. I'm just dumbfounded how the movie Terminator seems to be unfolding before our eyes. We won't have time travel to save us though. Lol. I really appreciate the generous rating, Z. Have yourself a wonderful day and thank you again.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I like this classy, AI sonnet! It's original, well-metered and rhymed and with a theme that is very relevant to day. I like the warning that evolves throughout the verse to a quite frightening degree by the third stanza, culminating in a very evil-sounding rhyming couplet. This is scary with every right to be so. Two of my favourite lines: You give me life that learns while void of soul/with little thought of what you've weaponized. This is also well complemented with a striking image. Good luck! A strong contender:) Debbie

Comment from Aiona
What in interesting A.I. sonnet. Not A.I. as in A.I.-written, but you know what I mean. It follows the iambic pentameter requirement as well as the abab cdcd efef gg rhyme scheme. I'm not so sure I see a volta in the third stanza. But it's a poignant poem all the same!

Comment from Rachelle Allen
*Gulp* William? William Shakespeare, is that you writing this lovely sonnet? It must be, because it's left me trembling and short of breath the way all good sonnets are meant to do. And, oh! The imagery you have created for me, as well. I doth feel compelled to swoon! Oh, and barfeth with fear. Prithee!
Besteth of luck in the contest, oh bard supreme!!

Hahaha. Made you swoon, huh? Haha. Thank you for the hilarious review, Rachelle. Yeah, I figured I'd take this sonnet a little different direction. I'm sure it'll just go down in flames but as long as I had fun with it, that's all that matters.
I hope all is well on your end. Have yourself a wonderful rest of your weekend and thanks for the chuckle.

Your grim picture of AI's future reminds me of the machines that took over the earth in the TERMINATOR films. I confess I share your dread that such technology can ultimately harm us. Rod

Thank you for the great review, Rod. That's pretty well how I see it all going down. Who knew Terminator (besides the traveling through time part) might actually be coming true? I appreciate the stars and stop in, friend.
Comment from Mintybee
I liked this sonnet from an unusual voice - the voice of AI. I don't think I've encountered a sci-fi sonnet before. I have to say, you've made it a wonderful combination. The volta could be stronger. It's usual to change direction a bit in that third stanza. You do have a human argument start it off, which works, but then you switched right back to AI. I thought the final couplet was strong. Using the word "virus" has biological and technological implications, so that was a great ending.
