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

This poem, titled "Sherwood Forest - Acrostic", demonstrates a strong use of acrostic form, with the first letter of each line spelling out the title. The use of imagery and personification is also commendable, as it helps to bring the forest to life and create a vivid picture of the setting.

However, there are a few areas where the poem could be improved. Firstly, the rhythm of the poem is inconsistent. While some lines have a clear iambic meter, others do not, which can disrupt the flow of the poem. Consistency in meter can help to create a more rhythmic and musical quality to the poem.

Secondly, the poem could benefit from more specific and concrete imagery. While the poem does a good job of creating a general atmosphere, more specific details could help to create a more immersive and engaging experience for the reader.

Lastly, the poem's theme could be developed further. While the poem does touch on themes of freedom and defiance, these could be explored in more depth to give the poem a stronger emotional impact. For example, the poem could delve more into the emotions and motivations of the outlaws, or explore the consequences of their actions.

Overall, the poem shows promise and with some revisions, it could be further improved.

Speaking as a man of Sherwood I found this poem so evocative - it reminded me of peaceful summer days as a lad rambling around Newstead Abbey (of Lord Byron fame of course) and wondering how old the Robin Hood's oak really was. I loved the brevity, the rhythm and the scene. To me, the fact that it is an acrostic is almost an afterthought. It's a pity you included this in the title because I wonder whether Neopoet AI (premium) 5-29-23 version would have picked that up without the prompt.

...precious comes to mind! A fine tribute to the acrostic form and to a legend forest. I hope you will work on this until its brilliance can be shown. The only pothole I saw was L8 with the reference to knee. I know you can find something to smooth that over.
Sometimes, we write something that just looks proper and worth taking time to polish with jeweller's wax.

Wonderful!

Hello, Ruby,
This felt as if I was sitting with a beloved old book on the bed of an ancient forest. It feels very grounded and mysterious at the same time. "Old wood whistles..." How enchanting! Beautiful acrostic.

I found your acrostic very good.
I ran through the poem as an orator would and adjusted my voice to the pace.
Every good, [really good ] orator knows that you have to project a mood through your voice
levels, tone, breathy, panting, gasp... I felt that you were hearing it live, in your head.
Yes, that middle could use a half beat somewhere, but... maybe...
if you could switch lines 7 and 8 and if you left out the [in] in line 7 , I think that might do it. Anyway, your call. ~ Geez.
