Donald Trump Gets A Presidential Mugshot In Georgia

These posts are all out of order. This one is for 8/25.

To be clear, I'm operating using ChatGPT 3.5, folks. Anyways, this was a pretty rapidfire interaction. Impressive how fast it went down. My prompt was "Write a poem about Donald Trump's mugshot. Here is some information you may find useful. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/25/style/trump-mugshot.html"

And here's what I got.

"In orange hue of justice's grasp,
A mugshot tells a tale so vast,
Upon the canvas of the night,
A figure stands, bathed in spotlight.

A man once hailed, a seat of power,
Now caught within a fateful hour,
His features etched with lines of time,
Reflecting choices, deeds of prime.

The suit exchanged for prison's garb,
A stark reminder of the barb,
That destiny can twist and turn,
From opulent to lessons learned.

The backdrop, cold and sterile white,
Contrasts the tale of might to plight,
For once he roamed with brazen might,
Now captured in the hush of night.

Expressions held within those eyes,
A life's trajectory comprised,
Of moments grand and moments grim,
A journey's end, a fleeting whim.

Yet let us not forget the past,
The memories that long shall last,
A chapter closed, a story told,
In history's grasp, forever bold.

For in this portrait, stark and real,
We find a truth that hearts can feel,
That power ebbs and tides shall sway,
But time remains, a steady ray."

Sounds a little bit more like an obituary than a poem about a mugshot, but fascinating all the same.
