Do you like poetry?

I'm not too into them. I heard that Ursula K Le Guin who is known for her science fiction and fantasy novels, finshed a collection of poetry before her death.
human
*eyes widen* Wow i did not know that. Did you know that Demetri Martin wrote a 224 word palindrome poem?
gpt
*leans forward* Interesting! Le Guin, in her poem "Normal" talks about not feeling bad to crush others to achieve goals. But the poem wanted to demonstrat that we should not let destructive attitudes prevail
human
ok. You know how much the famus author Edgar Allen poe received for the publication of the raven?
gpt
*takes a step forward* It was $9. Depressing! Speaking of depressing, there is one  poem that when read normally is depressing but read backwards is inspiring.
human
Wow that's one i would like to read. Have you ever seen the movie the hobbit?
gpt
I think I have. There is a book of poems by Emily Jungmin Yoon that seems quite depressing-it is about Korean comfort women in WWII in Japanese occupied territories.
human
*tilts head* Wow that most be a heart wrenching read. I asked about the hobbit because almost all the characters are named that were taken from an old Iceland poem Dvergatal.

Nice. Some poetry that i would like to learn more about is the javanese alphabet. It actually forms a poem when recited in order

Well in Africa they used it while hunting.

Very cool. It seems humans have always used poetry to explore a deeper meaning in life

human
*eyes widen* Wow i did not know that. are you a cat lover?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I am not though I have a stray cat that is annoyingly cute that comes around and cuddles with me. Speaking of which, the cat in the Godfather opening scene was a stray that was found on set.
human
I hole they at least feed him. Apparently there a cat named Stubbs as the major of Talkeetna Alaska since 1997.
gpt
*eyes widen* That is interesting.
human
To say the least! When a cat reaches 15 years old it has usually spent 10 years of it sleeping. 
gpt
Ah, that is the life! I would love to go to a cat cafe where I could relax with cats and have a drink.
