I asked ChatGPT-4 to rate the haiku I posted just now. Here’s what it generated.

This poem is a lighthearted and playful take on the haiku form, using the image of a pigeon and its cooing as a humorous twist on the traditional Japanese poetic structure. While it may not be a profound or emotionally resonant work, it is successful in its goal of eliciting a smile or chuckle from the reader through its clever wordplay. Additionally, the brevity and simplicity of the poem reflect the minimalist aesthetic of haiku, demonstrating an understanding and appreciation of the form it parodies. Overall, as a light and entertaining piece, this pigeon poem succeeds in its intended effect.
