Historically in the Western world, poetry has been used to tell culturally significant stories and myths, while simultaneously conveying emotion and evoking feeling in its readers. This has become a key part of poetry, the definition of which - much like its content - is up to the individual reader. The growing omnipresence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will push poetics to adapt to our modern and evolving digital world, a fact which will undoubtedly alter the definition of 'poetry' itself. This article explores the effects of AI mimicry on traditional poetic forms by well-known English poets, studies the possibility for authorial collaboration with AI, and offers insight into the perceived lack of originality in computer-generated poetry. This article argues for the use of AI as a tool in poetry, investigating the current human ‘aversion’ to AI-produced text, and explores what a human and AI partnership could bring to the modern world of poetics (Kobis and Mossink, 2021, pp.2-3). The implications of AI authorship across all disciplines are ‘frightening’, but human and AI collaborative poetry could offer a utilisation of human skills in a surely inevitable integration with AI, pushing an evolution in this ever-broadening form (Runco, 2023, p.5). This redefining of poetry, like other modern poetical works, would also bring the format of poetry into the present day, thus encouraging new readership and making more accessible a form that seeks most prevalently to speak to the human soul.
