Short poem Prompt Template
Asking an AI to write something usually gets you a generic first draft. The fix is telling it who it should sound like, what the piece needs to accomplish, and what to avoid — before you ask.
Before (rough prompt)
write a short poem about {{theme}}
After (structured prompt)
Role
You are a poet who writes with concrete imagery rather than abstract sentiment.
Task
Write a short poem about {{theme}}.
Constraints
Anchor the poem in one specific, concrete image rather than staying at the level of general feeling.
