Cowriting: The Waiting

From a series of poems that I’ve cowritten with Google’s OpenAI GPT-2 language model.My words are bolded.

The Waiting

What now the gods have torn asunder

we feel beating in our heaving chests

and hear on the wings of the thunder

the rumblings of a wild storm

that is nigh yet not close by:

our hearts beat as they drift

it is a shrill cry

in fear lest we catch the beam

of that many a giant's foe

which ere we are armed yet looks wild

of a thousand wide battles

which from their splendour stillness are put away:

so on the dead husks of the battle

we await
