Been having fun with Suno - here’s a parody song - “Thrill me Krill me”

It’s about a whale that really loves her dinner, probably a bit too much 🐋 🦐

🎶 New poem: “When the Music Stilled.”

Sometimes beauty gets interrupted — not by failure, but by forces outside our control.

This one’s about what survives anyway. ✨

We built a song from breath and flame, A fragile, fleeting, perfect frame. The world leaned in, then turned away, And silence took our work that day. The wires hummed, then fell to sleep, Their secret...

Just a little limerick to take the sting out of getting hurt by someone close 😒 🐝

There once was a heart brave and true,
Who shared what it lovingly knew.
When silence replied,
It hurt — but she sighed,
And said, “Not all gardens need view.”

And a collection of random #AI #PixelArt landscapes for general aesthetics 🎨
AI-generated pixel art of a vast mountainous landscape at sunset. A fiery volcano dominates the center, glowing with streams of lava and sending smoke into the sky. Jagged peaks rise in the background, their rocky faces bathed in golden light. A winding river cuts through the lush green valley below, with scattered trees and rocky outcrops in the foreground. AI-generated pixel art of a serene meadow at sunset. A large leafy tree frames the left side of the image, overlooking rolling green hills dotted with yellow and white wildflowers. In the distance, a hazy mountain peak rises beneath a golden sky filled with soft orange clouds, while the sun glows warmly above the horizon. AI-generated pixel art of a glowing purple crystal cavern. Towering amethyst-like crystals line the foreground on both sides, while jagged stalactites hang from the cavern ceiling. A calm pool of water reflects the light, leading the eye toward a cavern opening that reveals distant mountains under a violet-pink sky. Small wildflowers grow near the water’s edge, adding to the cavern’s magical, tranquil atmosphere.

The image is a pixel art illustration of a blue eye surrounded by green leaves. The eye is the central focus of the image, with the leaves arranged in a circular pattern around it. The eye is depicted in a realistic style, with detailed features such as eyelashes and eyelids. The leaves are stylized and simplified, with a focus on their shape and color rather than their texture or detail. The background of the image is a solid color, which helps to emphasize the eye and leaves. Overall, the image has a simple yet effective composition that draws the viewer's attention to the eye and its surroundings.

One pancake to awe them all, one pancake to lead them.
One pancake for hunger’s call, and in the morning feed them.
In the pan so round and thick, while hungry mortals sigh.
One pancake to rule them all and eat before they die.

Pixel art image of a glowing lime-green potion in a round glass bottle with a cork stopper. The bottle sits against a parchment-like background. Bold pixelated text at the top reads “POTION OF HYDRATION.” Below are simple bullet-point instructions for making a DIY electrolyte tea: 1 herbal tea bag, 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup, pinch of sea salt, and splash of lemon or orange juice. The overall style is retro and cozy, like a video game item card for magical self-care.
