AI Poem of the Week: Entombed No More

AI Prompt: Write a poem about mosquito encased in amber at Smithsonian Natural History Museum that escapes and explores the museum at night after closing time.

Entombed No More

Etched in time, a tiny form, A mosquito’s life, forever worn, Trapped in amber’s golden snare, A relic for all to stare.

In the Smithsonian’s hallowed halls, Amongst towering dinosaur sprawls, This ancient insect rests its wings, A witness to life’s fleeting things.

But when the night blankets the sky, And the last of the visitors sigh, A magic stirs, a force unseen, Freeing the mosquito from its resin sheen.

Emerged from its amber cage, It takes to the air, a new age, Flitting through the darkened rooms, Exploring wonders, defying tombs.

Past the T-Rex’s mighty jaws, The gem-lit cave’s celestial walls, It dances through the ocean’s deep, Where ancient creatures forever sleep.

A time traveler, a ghostly sprite, Reveling in this nocturnal plight, Tasting freedoms long since lost, Until the dawn, at any cost.

But as the sun’s first rays appear, The mosquito knows its time is near, Back to its amber it must retreat, Suspended once more, in slumber sweet.

A fleeting glimpse of life regained, A moment’s liberty attained, A reminder that in nature’s grand design, Even the smallest can transcend time.
