The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

This poem effectively employs the metaphor of autumn and falling leaves to depict the state of depression. The use of verbs like "shatters," "scatters," and "blows" helps to create a vivid image of the speaker's fragmented thoughts. The poem could benefit from further development of this metaphor to deepen the exploration of the speaker's emotional state.

The poem's brevity and simplicity are its strengths, but it could also benefit from a more complex structure or use of language to add depth and nuance. For example, the poem could explore the contrast between the beauty of autumn and the speaker's inner turmoil, or use more specific imagery to convey the speaker's feelings.

The poem's title, "Under Depression," directly states the theme of the poem. While this clarity can be beneficial, a more subtle or metaphorical title might invite the reader to engage more deeply with the poem's themes.

The poem's punctuation and line breaks contribute to its rhythm and pacing. However, the use of a comma at the end of the first line disrupts the flow of the poem. Consider revising this punctuation to maintain the poem's rhythm.

Overall, this poem effectively uses metaphor and imagery to convey a sense of depression. With further development and refinement, it could offer a more nuanced and complex exploration of this theme.

Pain is something we live with, but not without hope, it diminishes with time if we allow it.

the bowl of summer fall in slow motion,
smashing into a thousand pieces,
exploding outward as the dried leaves
blew away down the walk.
