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

The poem "Pain" is a poignant portrayal of the loneliness and desolation that comes with old age. Through vivid imagery and a somber tone, the poet conveys the burden of accumulated regrets and missed opportunities. The central theme of the poem is the sense of isolation that comes with aging, as one's loved ones and companions pass away or drift apart. The poem is structured in four quatrains, with each stanza building on the previous one to create a sense of inevitability and despair.

The language of the poem is simple and direct, but also evocative and powerful. The use of metaphors such as "the loss of those I tossed away" and "a final break of bone" effectively conveys the sense of irreparable damage and loss. The repetition of the phrase "all alone" in the second stanza emphasizes the speaker's isolation and vulnerability. The contrast between the "worthless" things that the speaker once held dear and the "tasteless feast" that they are now left with is a powerful symbol of the emptiness and futility of their existence.

One suggested line edit for the poem would be to replace "life times'" with "lifetime's" in the fourth stanza for grammatical correctness.

Overall, "Pain" is a moving and thought-provoking poem that captures the essence of the human condition in a clear and concise manner. The poet's use of imagery and language is effective in conveying the sense of isolation and despair that comes with old age, and the poem leaves a lasting impression on the reader.

I am not truly convinced of the writer's character references, I appreciate the form and meter without a doubt! I do believe you have been practicing your meter in anticipation of entering a contest and winning. If I have seen better from you, I can't remember when. A very readable and enjoyable piece from you. Nice job! ~ Geez.

Hi, Stan,
A deep, reflective piece, So melancholy, but honest. Really like this, maybe because I can relate a bit too easily.

I liked this one a lot. An allegorical tale of a rich man/woman left to face their end alone with a clear moral message. The rhyme was good and flow was done well. If you could drop a couple of metaphors in there, it would raise your poem singnificantly. Well done, really enjoyable poem, Ruby :)

an excellent piece this is... it reminds me that in the end, we are all alone with our memories. hopefully they are good... very well done!
