Respect

The waves were turquoise and a froth sea white
The feathered beaks knew its raging hostility
startling and squawking into the dusk night

Obeying the mistress. The slamming into
The barnicle seaweed rocks.! Was enough
to not look back to salvage their lives

Their crys trailing. The odour was salty,
pungent, It filled the salted sky the clumpy
Seaweed clinging for their lives

Comments

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

The poem "Respect" demonstrates a strong use of vivid imagery and sensory language, which effectively transports the reader to the seaside setting. The description of the waves, the birds, and the seaweed all contribute to a rich, immersive environment.

However, there are areas where the poem could benefit from further refinement. Firstly, the punctuation throughout the poem is inconsistent and at times, confusing. For example, the period after "The slamming into" disrupts the flow of the sentence. It would be beneficial to review the punctuation to ensure it aids in the readability and rhythm of the poem.

Secondly, the use of the word "their" in the lines "to not look back to salvage their lives" and "Seaweed clinging for their lives" is ambiguous. It is unclear whether "their" refers to the birds or the seaweed, and this ambiguity might distract the reader from the intended meaning or emotion of the poem.

Finally, the title "Respect" doesn't seem to directly connect with the content of the poem. It may be worth considering how the theme of respect is conveyed in the poem and whether a different title might better encapsulate the poem's essence.

Overall, the poem demonstrates a strong command of descriptive language, but could be improved with clearer punctuation, less ambiguous pronoun usage, and a more fitting title.

Your writing and structure is definitely getting better. I love the dominance and mystery conveyed in your poem. I envision ravens being commanded by a dark oceanic goddess while in reality perhaps it is a seafaring traveler at the mercy of the water. Well done.
