ChatGPoeTry: 杜甫 Du Fu (712-770) 春望 (Spring View)

This is it, boys. The big one. The freaking widowmaker of Chinese poetry. It's got patriotism. It's got isolation. It's chock full of allegory. Every line has multiple meanings. But everyone tries to interpret it because everyone knows it and, like debating Confucian texts, it's a mark of intelligence.  And I'm a sucker for proving I'm smart. Now I'm going to try and make it rhyme. With the help of a robot.
