Ode to the Haiku Bot, You Made My Night

[ameliabartlett]

Have you seen the @haikubot?

I left a comment on @anna-mi's post sharing gorgeous photos of her daughters and within minutes, I had a follow-up notification.

The bot translated my comment automatically into a 5 - 7 - 5 haiku poem.

There's something absolutely precious about this. Instead of spamming or promoting or in some way being a bother to the community, this bot is pure joy. Simple poetic joy.

@haikubot, I love you. I wrote you a poem in return.

Amidst the swell of
aggressive bogus robots
animated soul.

There's something completely valuable about this. Rather than spamming or advancing or somehow being a try to the network, this bot is unadulterated happiness. Basic beautiful delight.

Yes! I recognize that not everyone loves it, and maybe they are found creating unintentional haikus often, but this was a sweet delight for me.

You are full of these interesting gems.
