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

The poem "SNAPPER!" effectively uses vivid imagery and suspense to engage the reader. The use of words such as "gargantuan," "voraciously," "horrid," and "terrifying" helps to paint a clear and dramatic picture of the scene. The narrative style also adds a sense of immediacy and tension, which keeps the reader engaged.

However, there are a few areas where the poem could be improved. Firstly, the rhythm and meter of the poem are inconsistent, which can disrupt the flow of the piece. For example, some lines are significantly longer than others, and the stresses do not always fall in a predictable pattern. This could be addressed by revising the poem with a specific meter in mind.

Secondly, the poem could benefit from more varied and sophisticated language. While the descriptive words used are effective, they are fairly common and do not add much depth or originality to the poem. Experimenting with less common words and phrases could help to make the poem more unique and engaging.

Lastly, the transition from the confrontation with the snapper to the arrival of the brother is somewhat abrupt. This could be smoothed out by adding more detail or foreshadowing earlier in the poem. This would also help to build suspense and make the resolution more satisfying.

A great poem with elements of suspense and terror, like watching a horror film unfold. I enjoyed your poem.
Perhaps developing the words to describe the Snapper as AI has said, so it pops for the reader, and using punctuation would add tension to your work, and aid the reader. I hope this helps. Overall a very good poem. Ruby :) xx

If I have given you the wrong messages I apologise, it was not my intention. I merely wanted to share with you how to improve your poetry skills. I am happy to help you if I can. Ruby :) xx

the title for this poem is fantastic, from my point of view! It serves to entice the reader and promises action. it does not disappoint, either. From head to tail/tale, this is a whopper! I much enjoyed the energy and surprise ending. you spin an excellent yarn!
