Welcome to the LoveMaker! (v3.1 Erosoft Industries, \\C 1993) 

At the prompt, please enter your response. 

I am the LOVEMAKER. A personalized, interactive poetry assistance program.

What is your name? 

> JOHN 

What a nice name, JOHN. You must be a man. 

> YES 

How nice for you. Who is your poem for, JOHN? 

> SHEILA 

How nice for SHEILA. She must be a woman? 

> YES 

SHEILA must be very special to you, JOHN. Is she? 

> YES 

What is the occasion, JOHN? 

> VALENTINE'S DAY 

SHEILA is a very lucky woman. I will need information
about SHEILA for a poem that best reflects your deep
feelings for her.

JOHN. What color are her eyes? 

> BLUE 

Thank you, JOHN. 
But could you be more specific? 
Are they blue like the sky after a clearing storm? 
Are they the icy blue of the far flung fjords, 
shrouded in mist and mystery? 
Are they the steely blue of Walter Gropius's later
Bauhaus sketchbooks? 
Are they a cornflower blue that speaks of Sunday
picnics in simpler times? 

> THEY LOOK KIND OF GRAY WHEN SHE'S ANGRY 

Thank you, JOHN. What about SHEILA'S hair? 

> BLOND 

Thank you, JOHN. 
But could you be more specific? 
Is it ash blond with some auburn 
like the silky tresses of Rapunzel? 
When the sun hits it in a certain way? 
In the late afternoon 
does it look like spun gold? 
Is it the hard, cheap blond of the 
street-wise trollop or the dazzling,
brilliant satin of Renaissance cherubim? 

> I THINK SHE DYES IT 

Thank you, JOHN. 
Are there any other characteristics
we should mention in our poem to SHEILA? 

>
>
> 

JOHN, are you still there? 

> SKIN? 

Thank you, JOHN. 
But could you be more specific? 
Is it fine and alabaster and tightly
grained like antique porcelain, 
slow-fired by master craftsmen? 
Or is it pink and lustrous like 
the hand-burnished silver one's 
Grandmother might be found polishing
with gentle, loving strokes on a
rainy Sunday afternoon? 

> SHE TANS TWICE A WEEK 

SHEILA must be very special to you, JOHN.
You must have deep feelings for SHEILA
to write her a special VALENTINE'S DAY poem. 

> YES 

How nice for you, JOHN. 
What kind of poem do you think SHEILA would like? 

> ?

JOHN? 

> I'M THINKING 

May I make a suggestion, JOHN? 

> SURE 

Perhaps you imagine yourself
a hopeless romantic, JOHN. 
A man who lives and loves with
passion and desire and appetite.
A man who grabs great platters
from the groaning board of this
world and eats his fill. 
A man who takes what he wants 
the moment he sees it
and makes it his own. 
A man who kneads fate 
in his strong hands,
shapes it and commands it.
A man with a reckless bent 
and the courage of fire. 
A man who sees beauty 
in a raindrop and 
all the truth of the universe
in the eyes of a child. 
A man with needs and wants 
aflame within him. 
A man of power 
and means of influence, JOHN. 
A man destined to be the envy
of other men. 
A man that few can ever understand
and fewer still will have the guts
to love. 
A man of whom it might be said... 

Would that Alexander in his age
had but half the measure of his strong
stout heart or
clear hawk's eyes undimmed and true,
pooled with azure purpose. 
No earthbound mortal he,
but master o'er each and all... 

Would this describe your self-image accurately, JOHN? 

> YES 

I thought so. 
I'll use my random SEARCH MODE
(Alt+S) to choose an appropriate 
style for you, JOHN. 
One that truly expresses 
your deep feelings for SHEILA
on VALENTINE'S DAY. 

Please wait.

Dear SHEILA,

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your hair is blond
And your eyes are gray (when angry)

JOHN
