A Bit of Robot Poetry



The Roboticist's Delusion
  By Dan Mickle (2011)

The roboticist's delusion
That he could build a fusion
Of a girl and an extrusion
At last brought him effusion
As it led to this conclusion:
While her body showed confusion
Her bright eyes brought the allusion
Of an angel in seclusion.

I considered that the last line should technically start with "To" rather than "Of", but I finally decided I preferred "Of" in that position. Also while the meter is not perfect (one missing beat in each of lines 2 and 4), I am happy overall with the outcome. I will leave it as is.
