I became anosmic recently, so I asked ChatGPT to write me a poem.

  Once, I could smell the roses,
  Their sweet aroma, it exposes
  The beauty of the world around
  But now, those scents are no longer found

  Covid has taken my sense away
  No more can I smell a summer's day
  Or the savory scent of a home-cooked meal
  Or the salty air by the ocean's seal

  But still, I am grateful and filled with hope
  For the other senses that still allow me to cope
  I can see the colors and hear the sounds
  And taste the flavors that still abound

  I may have lost my sense of smell
  But I am determined, I will not dwell
  On the things I cannot do
  But focus on all that I still can, it's true

  For though I may not smell the roses
  I am still alive, and that's enough to propose
  That I will continue on my journey, unafraid
  With gratitude and hope, I will be unafraid.
