n8n workflow: AI agents that write poems in the style of famous poets

Discussion

Built a workflow where you fill out a form (who it's for + a short story) and get back a personalized poem — written by an AI trained on the techniques of real poets, not generic "roses are red" stuff.

4 styles, each modeled on specific poets: 🖋️ Contemporary — Ocean Vuong, Ada Limón, Warsan Shire 📜 Classic sonnet — Shakespeare, Keats, E.B. Browning (real 14-line ABAB CDCD EFEF GG) 🍃 Haiku — Bashō, Buson, Issa (5-7-5, actual kireji/kigo rules) 🌙 Surrealist — Lorca, Éluard, Breton

Stack: Form Trigger → Switch → 4 AI Agents → Merge → Gmail.

The hard part wasn't the architecture — it was getting the AI to actually use the person's specific details instead of falling back to generic imagery. Each agent's prompt references concrete techniques (Bashō's kireji, Shakespeare's volta, etc.) rather than just "write like X."

DM if you'd like the template!
