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

The poem "Brick and Mortar" is a poignant portrayal of the emotional scars inflicted by a past relationship, and the healing power of a new love. The use of the brick-and-mortar metaphor is effective, as it conveys the weight and permanence of the hurt suffered by the speaker. The repetition of "One for every time" adds to the sense of accumulation and burden. The contrast between the cold, unyielding ashlar and the warm, supportive Cameron is stark and moving.

One suggested line edit would be to change "I was so blind to these things" to "Blind to these things, I was." This would create a more fluid sentence structure and emphasize the speaker's lack of awareness.

Overall, "Brick and Mortar" is a well-crafted poem that explores complex emotions with clarity and depth. The image of the wall being slowly taken down brick by brick is a powerful symbol of the transformative power of love.

is a good poem that details the points
of a sad relationship, one of lies, arguments and hurt.
I found the line that the AI would change, to be just fine.
I was about to suggest that you cut the line in half or use a part of it
in the next line, but upon reading further, decided that the length of it was
a good way to explain the whole of the thought and give a break between
it and the next part which tells how he saved you.

I don't see much of anything that I would change, it has a good pace
and doesn't seem out of rhythm or rough at any point. At first, I thought that it would be a
a challenge, "The Dear John Challenge, to be exact. Is that what gave you the idea for the poem?

Nicely done! ~ Geezer.
