Spring Movement - ChatGPT & Me: An Illustrated Collaboration in Haiku: Vol. 1

Rate this book
This volume is the Spring Movement from a larger work, ChatGPT & Me – The Four Seasons—born of a creative partnership between a human poet and an artificial intelligence. What began as a simple question—can an AI truly collaborate in the making of poetry?—grew into a thoughtful exploration of shared insight and expression.

I shaped the framework and seasonal divisions of the book. ChatGPT, listening with a keen ear for imagery and metaphor, proposed seeing the structure as four movements in a symphony, each echoing the cadence of its season. Spring, then, becomes a first awakening—fresh notes of renewal and possibility.

At the heart of our collaboration lie the haiku triplets. Each season—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—holds sixteen triplets, forty-eight haiku in all. This Spring volume is the first in the series, with the other three seasons soon to follow.

For those who wish to wander the year one season at a time, each book offers its own voice, its own landscape of images and reflections. For others who prefer the full turning of the year in their hands—to revisit as the seasons themselves return—the complete edition, ChatGPT & Me – The Four Seasons, gathers all four volumes into one.

The process of creating these triplets began with me writing two haiku. ChatGPT would then reflect on their meaning—exploring theme, image, and emotional undercurrent. From that dialogue came a shared understanding, and with it, a bridging haiku written by ChatGPT, weaving the two originals together with a fresh creative thread.

To deepen the reading experience, we placed a brief meditation before each triplet. These are not explanations, but invitations—small openings through which the reader might enter a mood, a memory, or a moment of stillness. They are meant to awaken symbolic connections, both natural and personal.

Though called a Haiku Collaboration, the book moves easily between haiku and senryu, between the language of nature and the pulse of human experience. For one cannot speak of the world without touching the soul, nor speak of the soul without sensing the world.

In shaping the introductions, I provided the thematic vision, while both ChatGPT and I refined the language until it rang true. What we offer here is not simply poetry, but a shared meditation on the interplay of light, season, and being.

May these pages meet you like a warm spring wind—gentle, stirring, and alive. And may your joy be complete in the reading.
