Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Nay, this passion cannot in truth compare.
Dare I say I love thee? Rare for me
To pledge such unchained emotion.
Such a notion does not sit well within
This cowardly breast. I fear to say it
Lest I should be forsaken.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

It is frightening sometimes. Nicely Done!!!
Yes! Love is more frightening than most horror stories (except, I guess, those that prey on our deepest vulnerabilities.) ⚡💙⚡
Afraid to say I love you. This was different. Well Done!!!
A non-declaration, declaration of love? Shades of Don Quixote! Lovely and sad, Ray! Truly an outside of the box challenge entry! Good luck!
Love can be a bit scary I suppose 😁
Oh no, no one should be forsaken. Loved your poem!
Hey Ray, you related to Shakespeare or was that first line from someone else. Good job.
Ooh, this one is deep, Raymond.
