By Jack Joseph Smith

Shout Still is a diamond It has crossed you Sleek as any fur It has blemished Far as you can see It depends on where you stand Mountains change like toys for us We will control seasons as thought Out in the middle of the ocean we won't scream or be loud When their is trouble Let us be quiet

AI Interpretation

GPT

The speaker contrasts a diamond and fur with blemishing, claims mountains and seasons can be changed, then calls for quiet in trouble at sea.

The title and the closing quiet pull in different directions. Claims to control landscape and seasons belong to the poem rather than a literal technical proposal.

'Shout' begins 'Still is a diamond', says 'We will control seasons as thought', and ends 'When their is trouble / Let us be quiet'.

Against its title, the poem chooses quiet in trouble; their is kept as typed.
