Poetry is more than rhyme
Or words dictated by form
It is what is inside us
It is our thoughts and feelings
About what we observe
Put into images uniquely
Our own

Neopoet gives us an unbiased forum
Through which we are able to explore
Poetry, in its varied forms, gathered from
Men and women around the world
Pulling from within their feelings
Thoughts of the past, events of the day
And hopes for the future

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

The poem presents a clear and concise understanding of what poetry is and the role it plays in expressing inner thoughts and feelings. The second stanza introduces the platform, Neopoet, as a medium for poets around the world to share their work. The transition between the two stanzas could be smoother to maintain the flow of the poem.

The poem could benefit from more vivid and specific imagery. While it does a good job explaining the concept of poetry and the role of Neopoet, it lacks the sensory details that could make the poem more engaging. For example, instead of saying "thoughts of the past, events of the day, and hopes for the future", the poem could provide specific examples of these thoughts, events, and hopes.

There is a small typographical error in the line "Poetry, in it’s varied forms". The correct form should be "its" without the apostrophe, as "it's" is a contraction of "it is".

The poem could also explore more complex poetic devices such as metaphor, simile, or personification to add depth and interest. For instance, the poem could compare poetry to something else that also holds or expresses deep feelings and thoughts.

Overall, the poem communicates its message effectively but could be enhanced with more imagery, specific examples, and poetic devices.
