Your Full Moon...

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

The poem "Your Full Moon" demonstrates a good grasp of rhythm and rhyme, which contributes to the overall flow and musicality of the piece. However, the poem could benefit from some refinement in terms of clarity and consistency of metaphorical language.

The metaphor of the full moon is intriguing, but it's not entirely clear what it represents. Is it a symbol for a person, a memory, or an emotion? The poem might benefit from more explicit connections between the full moon and what it symbolizes to provide readers with a clearer understanding of the narrative.

The line "A moth am I, all fired up" is a strong image, but it introduces a new metaphor that doesn't seem to connect with the rest of the poem. If the moth and the flame are meant to represent the speaker and the full moon, respectively, this could be made clearer.

The lines "What do I do, with these emotions? / I gaze longing at your moon" suggest a strong emotional connection, but the nature of this connection could be further explored. Are these feelings of longing, regret, or something else? Providing more insight into the speaker's emotions could enhance the emotional impact of the poem.

The final stanza introduces a physical interaction ("Your hand in mine, our eyes meet") which seems to shift the poem from a contemplative, introspective tone to a more direct, experiential one. If this shift is intentional, it might be useful to prepare the reader for it earlier in the poem to ensure a smoother transition.

Overall, the poem shows promise and with some refinement, it could offer a more powerful and clear narrative.

Hi Geezer, this is lovely it flows so well, almost as if I'm watching you. I really enjoyed the way you link the moon to your characters emotions, it was excellent. Ruby :) xx

Is there a typo in this line?
Full moon; I true can't help it

Has such an effect on our emotions. This conveyed them beautifully. The moon is such a magnificent entity with all its mystery and beauty. Good job

Hi, Geezer,
A clever and tender metaphor. "...the draw of you like a flame." It seems no matter how old we get, or how many full moons we've seen, it always makes us pause and honor it for a bit.
Thank you!
