My Dearest Sky <3

My dearest Sky,

As I gaze upward towards your vast expanse,
I remember the unlikihood of us meeting by chance.

I mirror your paintings and pictured star,
but it's my constant flow that keeps me afar.

I know you feel it too; that magical connection,
please tell me it's true, 'n' send rain in my direction.

Pushing the boundaries of all earthly existence,
I won't bail on our love, I'll show it persistence.

The way lightening illumes your shadowed canvas,
you are like my very own stunning dianthus.

Oh, the way you hold (the) Sun in your embrace,
like your smile is stretched far across your face.

Horizons glimmer, and horizons shine,
yet it's your afterglow that is so divine.

I try to reach you, tossing myself high,
But I eternally crash down, no matter how hard I try.

Inspired by your morning glow, I'll always choose;
your timeless backdrop of a celestial view.

So, 'til the day fate weaves our paths as one,
I'll love you from here, like a silenced nun.

Love always,
(the) Sea.

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

This poem employs a creative use of personification, attributing human characteristics to the sky and the sea. The use of a love letter format provides a unique perspective and adds an emotional layer to the poem.

However, the rhythm and meter of the poem could be improved. In some lines, the rhythm is smooth and the syllable count is consistent, but in others, the rhythm is choppy due to an inconsistent syllable count. For example, the line "I mirror your paintings and pictured star" has eight syllables, but the following line "but it's my constant flow that keeps me afar" has nine syllables. This inconsistency disrupts the rhythm and flow of the poem.

The poem also uses a variety of metaphors and similes, such as "you are like my very own stunning dianthus." These comparisons add depth to the poem, but they could be made more effective with clearer connections. For instance, it's not immediately clear how the sky is like a dianthus, a type of flower. Providing more context or explanation could help the reader understand this comparison.

The poem's language is generally clear and straightforward, but there are a few instances where the meaning is unclear. For example, the line "I won't bail on our love, I'll show it persistence" is a bit confusing. It's not clear what it means to "bail on" love or how one shows love persistence. Clarifying these phrases could help the reader better understand the poem's message.

Finally, the poem's ending could be more impactful. The final line "I'll love you from here, like a silenced nun" is a bit vague and doesn't provide a strong conclusion to the poem. Consider revising this line to more clearly convey the sea's enduring love for the sky.

to figure out who "you" were, then, at the end, the twist! The idea is great, the language is too, but I wonder if maybe you could, with a few less words, might be able to; pare down the lines so they are more length alike.

Example: "As I gaze upward, toward your vast expanse
. I know the likelihood of meeting by chance

A difference of only one syllable, and hardly noticeable!
If you try, you can figure out how to make most of these lines match, or come very close to it and the poem will be a lot smoother! I really got into the idea and see that you have a great one here! ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

I liked your poem. I agree that you could try to have similar meter per stanza.

I think that unlikelihood may have a typo.
