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

The poem "I was lucky" presents a strong theme of gratitude and appreciation for life's blessings, which is effectively communicated through the repeated phrase "I was lucky". This repetition creates a rhythmic pattern that enhances the overall flow of the poem.

However, the poem could benefit from more vivid and original imagery. For example, instead of saying "I was lucky to have a loving home", the poet could describe specific elements that made the home loving. This would make the poem more engaging and relatable to the reader.

In terms of structure, the poem seems to follow a loose rhyming scheme. However, there are places where the rhyme is inconsistent, such as the last two lines of the third stanza. Consistency in rhyme can improve the musicality of the poem.

Additionally, the poem could benefit from a more varied vocabulary. For instance, the word "lucky" is used repeatedly throughout the poem. While repetition can be effective for emphasis, overuse can make the poem monotonous. Using synonyms or related words can add variety and depth to the poem.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from a more focused narrative. While it covers a range of topics – from family to friends to personal growth – it could be more impactful if it delved deeper into one or two themes. This would allow the poet to explore these themes in more depth and create a more emotionally resonant piece.

to be lucky, you have listed all the things that you feel make you lucky. How lucky to have had all of these things, that some do not. There are those who do not have the background, the chances of someone more privileged. I do not say privileged in the way that many people will take it. Lots of people will take the word privileged to mean somehow unworthy, or undeserving, as if having the advantage from birth, a bad thing. Absolutely not! I guess being lucky, is like finding money in the street, with no one to ask for it back; so yes, I would qualify having those advantages as being lucky. Not sure if I'm making sense here, so I will just shut up and say that you have defined "lucky" very well. Good luck in the contest! ~ Geezer.
