Monday Morning Mantra

Sod off voices,
Sod off pain,
Sod off no sleep,
Sod off weight gain.

Piss off Low blood count
Piss off sore knee,
Piss off zero in my bank account,
I will not let you affect me!

Get Lost noisy neighbour,
Get Lost grey clouds drawing near,
Get Lost kids bad behaviour
I will start the week with no fear!

Comments

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

Thank you for sharing your poem "Monday Morning Mantra". The poem has a strong and assertive tone, which is fitting for a mantra. The repetition of "Sod off" and "Piss off" adds emphasis to the speaker's determination to push away negative thoughts and experiences.

However, I would suggest considering the use of more varied language and imagery to make the poem more engaging and memorable. The poem could benefit from more descriptive language that paints a picture of the speaker's surroundings and emotions. For example, instead of simply saying "grey clouds drawing near", the speaker could describe the clouds in more detail, such as "heavy, ominous clouds looming on the horizon".

Additionally, the poem could benefit from a clearer structure or form. Currently, the poem consists of four couplets with a similar structure, but there is no clear rhyme scheme or meter. Consider experimenting with different poetic forms or structures to add more depth and complexity to the poem.

Overall, "Monday Morning Mantra

I think the Bot has got ahead of himself, this is why he will never be able to write poetry like a human.

I thought your poem was punchy, and grounded in reality and gives an effective meaning to how many of us feel about our world right now, especially in the UK.

I liked the way you laid it out visually, with the second and third stanzas growing in length. Its simplicity makes it perfect.
