Meeting a Caveman...

He looked about the room
turned his smile on her
Those big, brown eyes, they flashed
she saw a ripple in his fur

Hypnotized by caveman magic
she surrendered to his charms
Took vows of matrimony
and fell into his arms

He drags her by the hair each night
has his way with her
She teaches him to party hearty
and she calls him Sir

He's a caveman, yes, a throwback type
he's just a little crude
But he's got more than boyfriend before
and you should see him nude

Oh yeah, money; he's got plenty
his family well to do
but his magic is what she came for
you better believe it's true!

Comments

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

The poem "Meeting a Caveman" presents a narrative that is clear and easy to follow, with a consistent rhyme scheme that aids in the flow of the story. However, the poem could benefit from a more nuanced exploration of its themes and characters.

The caveman character is interesting, but his depiction is quite one-dimensional. The poem could delve deeper into his character, perhaps exploring his thoughts and feelings, or his experiences in the modern world. This could add depth to the poem and make the caveman character more engaging.

The female character, too, is somewhat underdeveloped. The poem tells us that she is attracted to the caveman's magic and wealth, but it does not explore her motivations or feelings in any depth. The poem could benefit from a more detailed exploration of her character.

The poem's language is straightforward and accessible, but it could be enhanced with more vivid and original imagery. For example, instead of saying "he's got more than boyfriend before", the poem could use a metaphor or simile to convey this idea in a more striking and memorable way.

The poem's tone is light and humorous, which works well with the subject matter. However, the poem could benefit from a more varied tone. For example, it could introduce elements of tension or conflict to create a more dynamic narrative.

Finally, the poem's structure is consistent, with four-line stanzas and a regular rhyme scheme. This gives the poem a clear rhythm and makes it easy to read. However, the poem could experiment with more varied stanza structures or line lengths to create a more varied and interesting rhythm.

It gave me an error and didn't post the whole thing. Great take on the challenge. Pretty sure I either dated or am dating this guy. Loved it!

Magic
Is,all,you,need.

To steal a soul.

If the poem was about some form of modern domination or rather a way of describing how things were different in the past. I'm going to go for the latter. The juxtaposition between been having magic but still using some kind of 'force' was interesting to me.

think Fifty Shades of Grey! I know women who prefer that kind of treatment.

Is it an African thing...poor internet? Lol I keep posting comments
That dissappear

What I meant was
It was not the difference in treatment
That was actually
Of true interest

I just wanted to know, the intent of the words

a possibility that your internet is not the best and you may have issues posting, there are increased sunspots and storms which will contribute to the way the internet and the satellites carry the signals. ~ Geezer.
