Welcome to poetry corner.
I wanted to start this to have a light hearted thread on the forum, and have a bit of fun. The idea is that any of you guys who have robots that can talk, you can teach your robot a poem, rhyme or limerick (a clean one of course) that can be about anything you like, and post a video for all to see and enjoy.
This is not a competition for finding the best one, and you don't have to be a professional writer or anything. This is just a chance to unleash your creative side, and a chance for others to see and hear your robot do something a little different. The poem/video can be as long or as short as you like, so get creating.
To start off, K-9 is getting the ball rolling, so check out the video and let us know what you think. And if you are EZ Robot staff or a community member, and you listen carefully, you might just hear a rhyme about you
. Unfortunately I couldn't include everyone. That would be a loooong video.
So I hope you take part, and if don't, then I hope you enjoy the video.

@Richard.
I already entered K-9 singing a carol in the Xmas comp. Besides, 60 second time limit, but it's nice of you to say
. I know I came up with the rhymes and you shouldn't praise your own work, but I think the line about you with the beer and Roomba is the funniest. It's just the way K-9 says it. Cracks me up just thinking about it.
Anyway C'mon Richard, carry the ball and post something yourself. With your sense of humour, whatever you come up with is bound to be funny.
@Rich.
I'm pleased you liked to poem and thanks for your kind words about K-9. All the help you have offered me up until now really is appreciated. Thank you.
@Alan.
Your welcome my friend. I couldn't miss you out
. Glad you enjoyed it. I echo what I said to Rich. Im very thankful for all your assistance you offered me. So how about it. Fancy posting something?
I'll try and come up with something. I am not much of a poet, but maybe Roli will have some ideas
Alan
@Steve.... I have nothing funny on the burner right now... However, I am putting the finishing touches on my "mobile" inMoov..., so I might post something on it soon...
Steve G, K-9 is so funny and a really great poet.
After later playing the video sound through my robots bluetooth speaker, I laughed over and over.
Such a cool accent that K-9 uses! Great job and I enjoyed it. I am starting on a new project, my first robot w EZB4, but I am slow fabricating! Thanks again, Steve S
@Alan and Richard.
That would be great if you do. I'll look forward to see what you come up with.
@Steve S
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the compliments. Yeah K-9 accent ain't that bad is it. Some of the things he says does make me laugh
. And that's a pretty neat idea playing the sound through your own robot. Good thinking . I also look forward to seeing your new EZ-B4 project. Can't wait.
Don't have a video of anything yet but here is a sneak peak at Questor 2.0 and something I wrote a long time ago...
We cast our eyes upon the ocean of space and Lift our souls to kiss the lights of Heaven.
Searching within ourselves for the courage to dream, We reach out from our fragile sanctuary to Explore this realm of unknown wonders.
As we build new homes among the stars, We sing for the spirit, the songs of the Earth, And prepare for a new destiny.
By Rex Gordon
Lots of work and painting to do.... it never ends does it? Robot fever... LOL!
@rgordom.
Excellent stuff. Thanks for taking part Rex. I've been following your Magnus and Questor projects with interest. Anyway, your poem is brilliant. That is worthy of a Star Trek intro
. Keep up the good work with your builds.
