Comments

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

This poem effectively communicates a sense of self-criticism and the desire for self-improvement, using concise language and a clear structure. The use of the first person perspective provides a personal touch, allowing the reader to empathize with the speaker's feelings of disappointment.

However, the poem could benefit from more vivid and specific imagery. As it stands, the language is quite abstract, which can make it harder for the reader to fully engage with the poem. For example, instead of simply saying "Falling short", the poet could describe a specific situation or action that embodies this feeling. This would make the poem more concrete and relatable.

Additionally, the rhythm and meter of the poem could be improved. The first and second lines both have five syllables, but the third line has four. This breaks the rhythm and can be jarring for the reader. To maintain a consistent rhythm, the poet could revise the third line to have five syllables.

Lastly, the poem could explore the theme of self-improvement more deeply. The final line, "Striving to improve", introduces this theme, but it is not developed further. The poet could consider adding more lines to expand on this idea, or revising the existing lines to incorporate it more fully.

that you haven't improved, I think that you have indeed, mastered this form. [If that is what you are expressing.]
If it is something different, such as a segment of your life, then I'm sure that you will master that too. ~ Geez.
