Mondegreen meadow

Standing upon the bridge looking down to the scenery strikes wonder into my soul free.

an amorphous cascade of water running fourth, causing a halfhearted deadlock unto the dreadnought; getting caught up in the epitome of fleeting etiquette.
Enchanted by effervescent, flowing from the rocky crescent.

Evergreen tree’s light the breeze as a slow moving drift flows down from the moon-lit morning sky. Moved by such majesty.

-Sage Collet

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

The poem "Mondegreen meadow" by Sage Collet is a descriptive piece that evokes a serene and enchanting landscape. The use of vivid imagery paints a picture of a bridge overlooking a cascading waterfall, with evergreen trees swaying in the breeze. The language used is fluid and flowing, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the poem.

The poem's opening line sets the tone for the rest of the piece, with the speaker standing on a bridge and gazing down at the scenery. The use of the word "lithe" is a little out of place here, as it is more commonly associated with movement and agility, rather than wonder. A possible line edit could be to replace "them lithe be" with "my spirit free".

The next lines describe the waterfall as "an amorphous cascade of water running fourth", which is a unique and interesting way to describe it. The use of the word "halfhearted deadlock" to describe the ship caught up in the waterfall's current is also a clever choice. The phrase "epitome of fleeting etiquette" is a little more difficult to decipher, but it could be interpreted as referring to the transience and unpredictability of the natural world.

The poem then goes on to describe the evergreen trees and the slow-moving drift that flows down from the moon-lit sky. The use of the word "effervescent" to describe the flowing water is a nice touch, as it emphasizes the sparkling and bubbling nature of the waterfall.

Overall, "Mondegreen meadow" is a well-crafted and evocative poem that transports the reader to a serene and enchanting landscape. The language used is poetic and descriptive, and the imagery is vivid and engaging. With a simple line edit, the poem could be even stronger and more cohesive.
