Elizabeth Woolsey Author Writing is my guilty pleasure.

I love to share true stories of my life as a horse veterinarian both in America and in Australia where I have lived and worked for the last 28 years.

To be clear this is created with AI. I asked ChatGPT to created a poem about things that are related to horse doctors. Some of the poems are from my personal experience, and some are from the lives of horse vets and common issues. Here is another example and this one is from my personal experience:
HDP: Create a poem about a vet who takes two students to castrate two c**ts for her very last castration before retiring from veterinary medicine. She has never had a death, and she is supervising the students as they do the castrations. One gelding begins to bleed, and everyone is alarmed. The vet can’t believe she is going to experience her only post castration death on her very last horse. She is reminded that her father, who was also a horse vet, lost the first horse he ever castrated.
ChatGPT and HDP:

In the golden years of a vet’s last chapter,
She walked the fields, filled with laughter.
Two students in tow, eager to learn,
A lesson in life, a surgical turn.

Two c**ts pranced, unaware of their fate,
As the vet recalled her career, so great.
Never a loss, a record pristine,
In the art of castration, she was the queen.

Her hands, though aged, steady and wise,
Guided her pupils under open skies.
But as they worked, a sudden dread,
The owner’s concern, seeing blood spread.

The vet’s heart sank, her face turned pale,
Could her final act be the one to fail?
Years of success, now clouded with doubt,
Her perfect record, facing a rout.

“I can’t believe this,” she whispered low,
Her last surgery, turning to woe.
Memories surfaced, of her father’s own hand,
A horse vet too, who once took a stand.

He lost his first, in a tale of old,
A story remembered made her heart cold.
Now here she stood, at the other end,
Facing what she never imagined to fend.

The students watched, their eyes wide in fear,
As the vet stepped in, her mind crystal clear.
Years of experience in her every move,
She worked to correct, her skill to prove.

With swift precision, the bleeding was stopped,
The c**t was saved, their hearts un-cropped.
The crisis averted, relief in the air,
The vet’s record intact, handled with care.

In that moment, a lesson was taught,
Not just in surgery, but in the thought.
That even in endings, surprises may hide,
But resilience shines, through the tide.

As they walked back, the sun setting low,
The vet smiled softly, her heart aglow.
Her legacy not just in the lives she did mend,
But in the wisdom to her students, she’d send.

For in the dance of life, both loss and gain,
We find our strength, our purpose plain.
The vet retired, her head held high,
Under the vast, endless Southern sky.

Coming soon:
Announcing a new eBook:
Horse Doctor Press Prompt: Create a poem introducing a new book by Horse Doctor Press which is a collection of poems prompted by Horse Doctor Press and the life of a vet including the life of Elizabeth Woolsey-Herbert and her life as a horse vet from her days as a vet tech to her retirement from practice at Adelaide Plains Equine Clinic in South Australia. The book's title is: AI Poetry from a Horse Doctor's Life Verses from the Clinic
And here is a slightly atypical, generated response.

Introducing "AI Poetry from a Horse Doctor's Life: Verses from the Clinic"
From vet tech days to twilight's grace,
Through clinic halls, each patient case,
Elizabeth Woolsey-Herbert's lore,
A life with horses at its core.
In Adelaide's plains, where stories grew,
Equine tales both old and new,
This book of poems, crafted fine,
Marries AI with a vet's lifetime.
A New Dawn
In the heart of Horse Doctor Press,
A venture bold, we now address,
With ChatGPT, our trusted aide,
Verses from the clinic are displayed.
Early Years
As a vet tech, her journey starts,
Learning skills and mending hearts,
From simple tasks to complex care,
Elizabeth’s passion blossomed there.
The Practitioner
Years flew by, her knowledge deep,
In Adelaide Plains, her pledge to keep,
To heal and help each noble steed,
Fulfilling every horse's need.
Retirement Reflections
Now in her retirement phase,
She reflects on yesteryear's blaze,
With AI's help, her stories blend,
In poems that to all we send.
Verses from the Clinic
Each page a tale, each line a spark,
Of days spent healing in the dark,
Of triumphs, losses, joys, and strife,
Captured in the vet's own life.
An Ode to Innovation
With ChatGPT by her side,
A partnership where worlds collide,
Technology and vet's own art,
Together form a work apart.
Invitation
Join us in this poetic ride,
Where AI and vet’s worlds coincide,
"AI Poetry from a Horse Doctor's Life,"
A book where verses come alive.

I was dubious of this AI generated content. I never use AI in writing my novels. NEVER... But I find that ChatGPT does create a nice poem and the above is a good example. I urge you to try it for yourself.
Stand by for the launch ~July 1st and preorder details.

This will be in eBook form only unless I am asked to become the poet laureate for veterinary medicine.

Thanks I have received the perfect readers.

I would like someone who is not afraid to tell me what they think. There is something that might be an issue, and without telling the reader, I want to see if anyone is bothered by this. Message me and I will send you the book. You only need to read the first few chapters. So far no one has noticed anything and it may be that I am worried about "nothing." Thanks heaps.

If you could go back and speak to one of your favorite animals and have an honest conversation about your lives and relationships , which one would it be? There are horses, dogs and other animals that define your life. They set the bar. These are mine. Karen Chex, a mid-cannon amputee, and Pookie circa 1976, who was there through all my struggles getting into vet school. Yeah, you know I'm thinking of a book.
So who are yours? And you wonder why I love chestnuts...

In the bustling heart of a rural clinic's course,
Lived Sandy Brown, who could wrangle a wild horse.
With hands gentle and steady, a whisper soft as a murmur,
She'd teach a c**t to drink from his mother.

Her eyes, sharp as hawks, watched over the land,
No creature too wild to elude her command.
From dawn's first light to the setting of the sun,
Her work never ceased; there was much to be done.

She knew every whimper, each creature's distress,
Her touch was a balm to those under stress.
With a heart that was brave, a spirit so fierce,
Her presence alone would anxieties pierce.

When chaos loomed near, as often it would,
Her calm was a fortress, steadfast and good.
A crazy horse charging, its eyes wild with fear,
She'd soothe it with words only it could hear.

Her boss, ever grateful for her fearless stance,
Knew well that their safety wasn't left to chance.
With Sandy by her side, they faced each fraught case,
In that whirlwind of fur, feathers, and pace.

So here's to Sandy, in her scrubs of soft blue,
A hero unsung, to her mission true.
In a world full of tumult, her courage we toast,
A vet nurse supreme, the clinic's foremost boast.

As many of you know, I needed some iconic "Australiana" music for an upcoming book promo. One of my vet colleagues in South Australia mentioned her son could probably do this for me. He sent two versions which brought tears to my eyes and made me homesick. Here is a quick video of Noah Hensel's version. I can't thank him enough. Wendy Hensel, you should be so proud.
Thank you, Thank you!!!

I need a favor.
I am making a promo for one of my books and I need a simple rendition of about 30 seconds of Waltzing Matilda. This can be from a harmonica, piano, violin of something very simple.
You can record it on your phone and send me the audio file via messenger. It can be very simple. Or if anyone knows of a usable version without a license that would be great. Unless you are Judith Durham I don't need singing...
Trust me, you don't want to hear me humming it in the background of the video.
Thanks

HUGE shout out to Kathy Baldock of Kathy's Pet Portraits, my artist/client/friend. Kathy was my original book cover artist for the first book I published: Small Town Secrets. I needed a new cover for A Man's Worth and Kathy nailed it. I will miss the old cover. I don't think I told anyone, but the horse on the cover was actually taken from a photo of one of my favorite horses, Karen Chex. But like the first "Travels" book, I needed a reboot. Stand by for more changes.
I would also like to thank Cathy of Cathy's Covers. I think this captures the essence of the characters and it's just darn beautiful.

PS My next book is at the editors and coming soon.
