The Night

Here comes the lonely night again

Comes to visit me like a long-lost friend

Lonely together like so many times

Across my face, we will draw the lines

I am so deathly cold deep here inside

With only the night into which confide

Wraps me up like a hunter in a blind

Waiting here, waiting for the killing time

Waiting for a sunny day to finally arrive

Just trying another night to survive

I keep anticipating the night

My safe harbor I hide away in the night

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

The poem "The Night" explores the speaker's relationship with the night and the comfort it provides in their loneliness. The imagery of drawing lines on the speaker's face creates a vivid image of the night's impact on their emotions and physical being. The repetition of "waiting" emphasizes the speaker's sense of anticipation and longing for something better than their current state.

One suggested line edit would be to replace "Wraps me up like a hunter in a blind" with "Envelops me like a blanket in the dark" to create a more cohesive image and maintain the theme of comfort.

Overall, the poem effectively conveys the speaker's emotions and their connection to the night. However, the language could be strengthened with more precise word choices and a consistent tone throughout.

Well written. I feel the loneliness, not only during the dark of night, but through the darkness of the struggle. Again you have used your direct approach in writing and have conveyed a universal message.
Thank you,
