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

The poem "A fool am I" demonstrates a strong command of rhythm and rhyme, which helps to create a consistent flow throughout the piece. The use of imagery, such as "the darkened night moves madly by" and "the harvest moon no longer shines," effectively conveys a sense of loss and longing.

However, there are areas where the poem could be improved. For instance, the line "a tender kiss upon your thigh" seems somewhat out of place in the context of the other lines, which focus more on emotional intimacy and longing. Consider revising this line to maintain the overall tone and theme of the poem.

Additionally, the poem could benefit from more specific and unique imagery. While phrases like "your sweet embrace" and "your loving smile" are evocative, they are also quite common in love poetry. Using more unique and specific imagery could help to make the poem more memorable and impactful.

Lastly, the final line "put out the fire!" is a strong ending, but it could be even more effective if it was more clearly connected to the rest of the poem. Consider revising some of the preceding lines to include imagery or themes related to fire, which would make the final line feel more like a culmination of the poem's ideas.

over and over, trying to reach the rhyme that I knew was there! I finally found it, in the whole of the thread. A very enigmatic kind of poem that has the necessity of reading more than once to find the rhythm. I found the sense of the piece almost right away; it was just the rhyme I was looking for. LoL
Nicely done, ~ Geez.

Hello, Leslie,
Your last few words claim you do not think of yourself as romantic, but this feels full of romance. A broken heart that bleeds... When read aloud, it has a steady rhythm and flow to it that helps intensify the emotions and the build up to that fantastic, imploring final line. An open and vulnerable poem - the heartache is expressed very well.
Thank you,
L
Hope writing this helped you heal a bit!
