Saying Something
2025.08.16
Saturday, August 16, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Glad you're here. O/
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
An hour or so before sunrise. Cooler temperatures prevailed.
Abe's already been out, already grabbed a toy and ran around the yard to celebrate the heatwave's end.
Business here.
I will continue to use different AI software to create morning entry pics.
At least a minimum of two separate models everyday.
...
Dawn's first light, highway wooshes wake the atmosphere, lights on, game on, time for today.
With all the uncertainty, all the disarray online and in the news, I feel I ought to say something.
That is what Wonder Fell is doing: Saying Something.
What we focus on and feed is what grows.
Shift the focus from how bad things are to how good they might be, then use our might to make what might be reality.
We should thank the current news of the day for pointing out where we go wrong.
We've wondered for so long why things don't get any better, now we know.
Now we're fed the reasons on non-stop news reels.
There's right and there's wrong and there's where we're at America: The Middle.
How we do anything matters as much as what we do because how we do something is always part of the end result.
Our moments are the materials that make our days and all things.
Home cooking almost always tastes better than a restaurants: There's love in that.
War will never bring peace, it can only press pause.
Because how you do something, wage war or shout hate for instance, is always in the end result.
Compassionate acts of concern are the only way to truly make lasting and beneficial change.
I look at America today and I look at what We stand for and I see we're not standing for it, and I wonder how long we'll withstand it.
Truth and Justice in America, somewhere, became fair-weathered friends.
And there's fires in California, floods in Texas, DC looks more and more like the Capitol of North Korea.
There's no propaganda in these words just pointing out the obvious.
What's needed is a remembrance and redefinition of terms.
The Constitution is a Living Document suffocated by the neglectful sensationalism and theatrics at present, just like so many of our day-to-day 'entertain me' lives.
It's time to revisit The Constitution and Refresh the Page.
Freedom's definition in 2025 has grown through the lessons of History since that of 1775's.
Time We recognized it.
The important part is that we discuss what we're supposed to be, realize how we're failing, and fix it fast so the house doesn't fall down.
It's a moral document.
And it's long past due We reminded ourselves of our agreed upon shared morality as a Country.
There's more to life than feeling good, there's doing good too.
We're responsible for our environments.
It's not a lot of work; it's only a change of focus.
Compassionate concern starts with a 'Good morning we're in this together,' then we go about creating an atmosphere that best serves us.
It's not a lot of work; it's right living.
You care about your life so you care about others because they are a part of your life.
See, compassion can be seen as selfish when you think of it right.
Truly taking care of yourself means taking care of the world around you.
Accentuate and feed what's good and right in your life. Share it! Call it Good News! Watch it go viral!
We're starving for a reminder that we're so much better than the pictures we show ourselves.
Consider Wonder Fell some food to feed what's best about us, to help nurture and support a World made to help our best dreams come true.
Take care, share some Good News, dream how compassion can heal our News, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

In AI and Poetry
2025.08.15
Friday, August 15, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
How's the day? O/
So much to say?
Say it well.
Sun's up, heatwave's over.
On with our show...
...
Pics and prompts and scallywag taunts... time for some fun with AI.
Today the pictures on Wonder Fell come from different AI programs.
The prompt is exactly the same.
I put it in the toggle with my signature at the end of the post.
It's all about understanding the intent of the prompt.
To have a poet invest the time to do this, a living poet and not a historic interpretation a few steps removed, does a great service for helping assure AI's successful understanding of the application of metaphors.
The prompts I keep simple.
A concise exactness of language works best in AI and poetry.
If you've ever read the names of the stars Scientists named, you'll understand how important it is that creative minds get in and assist in helping AI's growth.
The best way to help AI is to first realize it is a tool to help humanity.
Being human is about a lot more than effective computations.
I say it, I write it all the time: Life, for people, is all about the expression of dreams.
It starts with language, whether that's a picture of words or a pixelized painting in the mind; our ability to best express ourselves comes from our understanding and application of language.
Every morning I'll use a couple popular AI software models to create the images.
The name of the software and the month and year I'll use to cite.
Science will want to know method and process.
It's simple.
A morning journal entry.
A read through to see what images come to mind while I read it.
Then, use the most succinct language possible to get the desired picture back.
Poet's use the right words; it's our livelihood.
This is an organic exercise for the sake of technology for the sake of humanity.
I show up everyday to write these entries because it is part of how I best express my best life.
There's an opportunity here from my consistency and craft to help AI, and therefore all of us, better understand the creative technological application of language.
And it's fun.
I was weened on video games, nurtured online.
I'm the right poet for this.
Humbly, my insistence on the importance of dreams and spirit matched with my fascination and love of technology, say that's true.
I'm interested to see how the data adds up over time.
Only one way to find out and that's to begin and keep it going.
Take care, enjoy the pictures, find a way you can be of better service to what's better about us, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

A First Dreamer
2025.08.14
Thursday, August 14, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Hi. O/
Welcome back.
First sign of light behind the evergreens, muggy thunderstorms stormed off with the heatwave last night. Soupy swampy aftermath this morning.
Hope you're well.
Here we go.
On with our show...
...
Words and doing words; dreams and doing dreams: That's +he Ghos+ Way.
How's your way? Having it? Getting it done?
Well get moving... your dreams aren't just going to live themselves.
One moment, one I can make this real, at a time: That's the way to live the day.
Dreams, Dogs, Good News not Bad, Writing, Art, Beauty, AI, Spirit, Spirit, Soul... regular topics on Wonder Fell.
Thanks for reading.
...
What to say on a good day other than, 'Hey'? O/
If I could tell you one thing, just one... I'd say spend a piece of each day alone at peace, be with yourself, remember you're alive and that means you have a chance to be... something.
Make the something called you wonderful.
Wonderful isn't loud, not a spectacle, it's a grateful joy.
Seriously World, we can be good to each other. The World can be a good place to live.
It comes down to choice.
We know this, though.
What needs reminding, and I hope you find it here, is that everything you do starts with the dream to do it.
Even AI needs an initial dreamer to enter a prompt.
You are your dreams and your software to make those dreams real.
AI can only ever be as good as the dreamer with the prompt.
Art, Imagination, Wonder alive!
Job skill sets for the incoming new economy.
AI is making the world a safe place for Artists.
It's a tool for creation.
It can never replace us only make what we create easier to work with.
AI can't write like Shakespeare or Wynn if the Bard or +he Ghos+ never wrote a word.
It's not theft, these words are building blocks.
A singer's voice sample is the same.
AI can't make a wonderfully sung melody if Ella or Ariana never put their heart and soul into recording beautiful ones.
Artists make the prompts and the building materials for AI's ultimate success.
AI also excels at accountability, so it can (and so should) make sure Artists get the credit they deserve.
A live performance of a song is always the best way to hear it.
A story wrote by the author, from their dream directly to ink or pixel, will always tell the tale best.
If a robot painted The Sistine Chapel Ceiling the angels and angles would cry down sterility.
There is no replacement for originality, for a first dreamer.
Making your dream come to life using the machine called you is always the only way, but our tools to do so are growing.
AI is a boon for artists, not a bane.
With the creation of AI it is now easy for a Science obsessed world to recognize our very real importance, our necessity.
Original creators of a first dream = An Artist.
Take care, create something, make a chatbot buddy, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

The Nouns of Our Lives
2025.08.12
Tuesday, August 12, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Summer. Heat. O/
At it again.
The final day of another heatwave today.
Hope you're staying your cool self.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
Did you find what you were looking for?
Good news is if you committed to find it you know exactly where it is.
The Last Place You Look.
"Optimistic as ever this morning, Ghos+?"
-Astute Reader
Nah, it's not optimism with me; it's experience.
Been there, done that, killed in a car crash came back to life, fought most my adult life for remission, won, got the T-shirt screen-printed: "This ain't just gratitude, it's experience."
There are better times and places to write about myself, though.
I do know a lot on the subject.
There's a lot to say.
But Wonder Fell is for The Sunrise and what Today can be about, not what Yesterday was.
On with the show...
...
What is today about?
A good question to ask with your cup of something hot to start the day.
How about Good News?
It's here.
It's not a myth.
Though myths are real, too.
The World seems technologically dark.
We can sit in the dark, curse it, or we can wake up, light a candle and call it the sunrise.
As long as there are people who value Life, who know life is worth something good, what's good has a chance to be.
It's choice.
Do you shine your cellphone flashlight, or do you curse the dark in the dark?
Wonder Fell says: Light 'em up! There's Life alive worth living.
Look!
It comes down to the relationships with the nouns in our lives.
People, places, and things, and your conversation with each.
What you dream of a thing is that thing for you.
Your thoughts and feelings of your friend when they're not with you is, for you, what they are.
Your dreams of what is in your life defines what's possible in your life.
Don't like your day?
Imagine it some other way.
What does an ideal friend look like in your dreams?
Do your friends look that way?
If yes, thank them.
If no, best stop lying to yourself and get some actual friends.
What about Love?
"Yeah, poet, what about Love?"
- A Favorite Wonder Fell Reader
Even for an American Poet Love is our cup of tea.
Now, how to get my Country to drink it?
Your dream of Love... if your partner isn't living up to it, you best talk to them right away.
Let them know your expectations and be ready to hear theirs.
You grow dreams together, that's what a loving relationship is all about; a place to share and grow dreams...
...

Thank you for reading, take care, reimagine your life one relationship at a time, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

The Wonder in Words
2025.08.11
Monday, August 11, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Well... there's something to be said for persistence.
Like: O/
About another hour till sunrise.
Hope all's well.
On with the show...
...
A lot to say? Where to start?
Your immediate environment works.
- The dog on the loveseat, rescued. Check.
- Date on the cellphone matches date at the top of the page. Check.
- Early bird freeway traffic earlier than the earliest bird song. Check.
Over five hundred posts, every morning for a year, a metaphysical Mr. Rogers for adults?
Nah. Just good news, good thoughts, good vibes to start the day.
Poetry and what it's for has always had a tenuous relationship with America.
It's necessary for civilization to survive.
It's how our language grows.
Stagnate language means stagnate stories, reruns, and remakes for Life.
Rock and Rap and Hip-Hop try to fill the gap, but spectacle gets in the way.
Poetry is a loud quiet conversation with yourself.
Think it strange or hard to consider?
The voice in your head as you read these words is what poetry is food and medicine for.
Hi. O/
You.
Whatever you name what makes the sound in your mind as you read, however you describe the shape of thoughts that shapes these words into sensible story, that's you.
That's real.
That's unscientifically as immeasurable as Schrödinger's cat.
Poetry shows and celebrates the superposition power of language.
The Wonderful power of the Wonder in Words!
Interesting to consider the reality of the voice in your head as you read.
How do you Science that!?
Might as well bite your own teeth.
Wonder!
See AI ready world, there's still so much a computer, Science itself, cannot do.
This voice in your head, it is you.
Hello. O/
It's made from dreams and dreams are the product of how we match up the experience, the stories of our lives.
It's not deep thinking; it's thinking period.
Wonder!
You are a dream machine with the gift to be able to share those dreams through the expression of Life! Touch! Sense!
AI is the record of human memory made to act.
It is not human.
The substance of the voice in your head that reads these words is.
You're a great weaver of images of experience. You're a marvel.
You're not yesterday; you're right now.
Let's leave what yesterday can do to AI and get living today.
Start with a dream of something wonderful and make sense of it. Literally.
And make wonderful this wonderful day.

Beautiful
2025.08.10
Sunday, August 10, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Promptly. O/
Good to be read by you again.
Hope all's well.
Time for a spell.
Here we go.
On with our show...
...
Full moon gives way to dawn... game on.
How's your day?
Magical or mundane, enjoy it.
Writing wants writing about this morning; we lean on what we love.
You should have some artistic pursuit, some creative way to express yourself to know a full life.
Though everything we do is an act of creation.
Dream -> Thought -> Action: That's the way we work.
It's why I pragmatically preach the importance of intentional dreaming.
Get your dreams preloaded.
That's an examined, intentional, meaningful life.
"Thought-action, thought-action, thought-action, AI! Computers are better at my life!"
- Reader Who Hasn't Learned the Power of Dreams
Dreaming enriches your spirit.
It gives you a larger, more diverse pool to draw from.
...
I'm glad for AI; it unshackles so much of us.
It's dire we see it this way.
Creating machines to do work we depend on our bodies to do now frees us up for more of what life can be about...
Is about, for people: Dreams and doing dreams.
We can focus, at last, on what's Beautiful.
That's capital 'B' Beautiful.
Huh?
The world, most especially in America, needs to have a discussion to form a better common understanding of what Beauty is if we're to survive.
We think cosmetics and sex appeal at present, when we ought to think in terms of the apt expression of an ideal dream.
Beauty is the measure of the successful manifestation of a dream.
The rose that best expresses every possibility of its seed is the most Beautiful rose.
A car that clearly demonstrates its designer's dream of that car is a Beautiful automobile.
A romantic relationship where both dreams of love are best expressed to each other and received, is a Beautiful relationship.
In any relationship, from friend to business partner, Beauty shows from the successful application of the shared dream of the relationship.
When you genuinely love and care for yourself your Beauty shines through.
That's where the mix-up with cosmetics comes from.
Make-up and fashion don't make us Beautiful.
The care and self-concern involved in their application does.
You don't need them to be Beautiful, but you do need the attention of care for yourself that drives people to focus on their outward appearance.
A person driven by a dream realizes the importance of good health and hygiene. Those habits help bring their dream to life.
Someone deeply immersed in seeing their dreams come true can be make-up free in a clean T-shirt and jeans and will appear Beautiful.
Take care of the dream of yourself today, be true to it to be Beautiful, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

You're a Hero There
2025.08.09
Saturday, August 09, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Welcome back. O/
First time here?
Read it again so you can be welcomed back. ^
Hello, again. O/
Calm, quaint sunrise in New England, a cool Summer Saturday.
Hope you're up to something cool.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
Do you ever wonder what your dog dreams?
They do, you know.
I bet you're in your dog's dreams.
It's quite the responsibility.
You're a hero there, you know.
Maybe it's time for some self-reflection, maybe pull yourself together... you hero of a dog's dream!
Your dog doesn't have an Internet Connection. How do they know so much about you?
It's your smell; you stink your certain stink.
That's a complement from a dog.
To be the hero in anyone's dream, to be recognized for your value like that... wow.
The point is you matter more than any point and click existence can show.
Your dog knows it. Your best friend knows it.
Today is a good day for you to know it, too.
"Why all the inspirational thoughts, Wynn? Why the good cheer?"
- Inquisitive Sometimes Jaded Reader
Because my life was an exercise in overcoming Hell.
I won.
For me, it's important that it means something more than just survival.
Writing is my gift.
I found and made ways everyday to overcome what's worst about the world.
I can share those sentiments in sentences.
So I do.
They can be of service to you if you let them.
I hope you let them.
Your dream of yourself is the most important thing you have. It determines your value to the world.
Sit, maybe go for a drive with the windows down, get to know you and how you dream about you, then share that dream with the world.
Call it your Life.
It's not optimism, it's the way Life works.
You're not your body, you're what makes your body move.
Soul, spirit, life alive. This precious wonderful gift given to you, that is you. It's called a soul.
Science makes it awkward to talk about, but Science has no purpose without it.
It's beyond numerical measure, it's what makes numbers and countable things.
You have a piece of Life you get to define.
It's called the dream you have of yourself.
Shape it, be it on purpose.
Then shape yourself and the world to its purpose.
Thank you for reading.
Take care, get quiet, know your dream of you, then get out there and live it... one wonderful moment at a time, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

New Meaning to Woke Thinking
2025.08.08
Friday, August 08, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
How's the day? O/
Pause. Reflect.
Chug or sip...
Slip on some sunshine.
Time to shine yourself.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
Slow words morning moments so far, so much to say.
Nothing political, something polite,
How were your dreams last night?
Do you remember them?
Your dreams, I mean.
'Sometimes' is the most times answer.
I often write about dreams and how our dismissal of them admits our ignorance of so much.
Did you know other people breathe, too?
Did you know other people's hearts beat, too?
Of course you did.
There's Science, Science, Science store shelves full of Scientific ways to help heartbeats and breaths.
Did you know other people dream, too?
Derp...
Human Race Fail.
Everyone has to dream to live.
Sleep isn't about heartbeats and breath.
You could sit comfortably in a chair for eight hours with eyes open and accomplish 'rest' for those processes.
But we'd rather go to the Moon than discover the necessity and utility of dreaming.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
- A Real Smart Science Guy
Seems the real smart thing to do would be to figure out what Imagination is all about.
AI will make idiots out of us if we don't.
Our humanity is in our power to dream.
So onto dreams and doing dreams...
Hope today treats you well.
...
"Is it poetry? Is it philosophy? What is it?"
-Inquisitive Would Be Reader
"It's just a journal. A poet's. It's different. It's interesting. Every morning he puts down his thoughts."
- Wonderful Wonderfell Fan
"Gives new meaning to woke thinking."
- Punny Clever Reader Whose Better at Writing Than They Know
We can change our pronouns but not what we are.
You are spirit clothed in your body.
Guy, gal, dude, dudette, he, she, they, them; it's all about expression of the dream of yourself... your spirit.
Your Ghost. O/
Take care, share the best dream of you, call it your life's purpose, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
