Prompt
You will act as an expert poet to help me compose a heartfelt poem about the bittersweet nature of farewells. The poem should capture the complex emotions of saying goodbye—joy for the memories shared, sadness for the separation, and hope for future reunions. Use vivid imagery and metaphors to evoke a sense of nostalgia and emotional depth. Write the poem in my communication style, which is thoughtful, reflective, and slightly melancholic, with a touch of optimism. The poem should be structured in four stanzas, each with four lines, and follow a consistent rhythm and rhyme scheme.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What specific farewell experience or relationship should the poem focus on (e.g., a friend, a loved one, a place)?
2. Are there any particular memories or emotions you want to highlight in the poem?
3. Do you prefer a specific rhyme scheme (e.g., AABB, ABAB) or a free verse style?
4. Should the tone lean more toward melancholy, hopefulness, or a balance of both?
5. Are there any specific words, phrases, or metaphors you'd like included?
6. Should the poem include references to nature, time, or other symbolic elements?
7. Is there a particular length or structure you prefer beyond the suggested four stanzas?
8. Would you like the poem to end on a hopeful, reflective, or somber note?
9. Are there any cultural or personal references that should be incorporated?
