I am a poet
About me
My writing
Poetry Books
I am a Toronto born poet of Bermudian descent.
My father was a banker and he died young. I was just a little kid but the impact stung, reverberating, expressing words, I write because I need to. Raised a family and now retired.
Been wordsmithing since I could hold a crayon.

AI Art prompts by Amina
Greeting friends, the art in the Derek Earl Houghton site was created by Amina and AI. I read Derek's poems and whatever image came to mind, I asked the Copilot to create what is in my imagination.
How do I give credit to you (AI) for the images created by us?
"I’m glad you’re interested in using the images created through our interactions! While I don’t require credit for myself, if you’d like to acknowledge the source, you can simply attribute it to “Generated by Microsoft Copilot.”
This helps others know about the tool that was used to create the image. If you’re using the image in a digital format, you could also include a note about the AI technology that assisted in the creation process. Thank you for considering giving credit! 😊"
You are welcome robot, Amina
