Nightly Routine
Nose stuck in a book
Don't want to take a look
Just want to stay right here
And to disappear
Into this world of make-believe
Where I can be anyone I want to be
And do anything I want to do
So please just leave me be
And let me stay
Nose stuck in my book!

Neopoet AI
The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Nightly Routine" captures the essence of a reader's world, where one can escape reality and enter a realm of imagination. The use of simple language and rhyme scheme in the poem makes it easy to read and relate to. The narrator's desire to stay lost in the book and not be disturbed is a universal feeling that many readers can identify with. The poem effectively conveys the idea that books provide a sanctuary from the chaos of the world, where one can be free to explore and create.
One suggested line edit would be to change "And disappear" to "To disappear." This small edit would make the line flow better and create a stronger emphasis on the desire to escape into the book. Overall, "Nightly Routine" is a well-crafted poem that captures the essence of the joys of reading.

Hello!
What a great nightly routine - and an enjoyable and relatable poem! Wonderful!

I often...
get my nose stuck in a book. I have to be careful not to let myself get too caught up in the story, or I may find myself late for appointments or with unfinished chores. Not that reading is such a bad thing, I can just get too absorbed! I agree with our AI, that line should be "to disappear", rather than and disappear. Nice job! ~ Geezer.
