The bird
Violet linen. Hands and legs wrapped, in it.
The scream wrapped up. In pillow.
Eyes closed.
Is it a man, or a bird? - asked the doctor
The form is lying down. It is not moving, and it is not fighting.
It is just dying.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "The bird" evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue through its concise and enigmatic imagery. The juxtaposition of the violet linen and the scream wrapped up in a pillow creates a vivid and unsettling picture. The question posed by the doctor adds an additional layer of uncertainty, blurring the line between human and avian.
The poem's brevity and simplicity contribute to its overall impact, but it also leaves room for interpretation. While this can be a strength, it may benefit from further development to provide more context or detail. Consider expanding on the emotions or thoughts of the subject, or exploring the significance of the bird-like qualities.
Additionally, the final line, "It is just dying," is a powerful statement that encapsulates the essence of the poem. However, it may be worth exploring ways to enhance the impact of this line. Consider experimenting with different word choices or poetic techniques to further emphasize the theme of mortality.
Overall, "The bird" is a thought-prov
