Falling For My Therapist

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

The poem "Falling For My Therapist" effectively uses descriptive language and metaphors to convey the speaker's emotional journey. The use of phrases such as "dank, dark cold" and "misery of matters murky and old" vividly depict the speaker's initial state of despair.

The transition from this state to a more hopeful one, guided by the therapist, is well captured through the metaphor of the therapist's voice as an "anchor tethering me to past present and future". This metaphor is particularly effective as it encapsulates the therapeutic process of exploring past traumas to understand and improve the present and future.

However, the poem could benefit from a more consistent rhythm and rhyme scheme. The irregularity in the poem's rhythm and rhyme can disrupt the flow and make it harder for the reader to follow.

Additionally, the use of the word "magick" in the line "like magick, knowing what I am seeking" seems out of place. If the intent was to convey a sense of mysticism or supernatural power, this could be achieved through more conventional language to maintain the poem's overall tone.

Lastly, the poem's theme of developing feelings for the therapist is subtly introduced but could be explored more explicitly to give the reader a clearer understanding of the speaker's emotional journey.

Hello, Cat,
Mysterious poem. When reading a few times, I was not certain the therapist was actually a physical person or a spirit guide. I can imagine either, so the outcome of the poem is the same - an enlightenment, almost transcendental. Soft and lovely.
Thank you!

This was exceptional Cat. Your word choice pulled me in and carried me from start to finish. Well done. Ruby :) xx

I penned a similar piece though mine is more based in fiction a kind of romance. I’ve only known one psychiatrist I could fully open up to in my years in contact with them since the age of 19 I’m 47 now. That lady saved my life the others just talk without offering solutions. I found true peace in your poem and as I say it made me beam inside and feel closer to my friend that is you. I’m pleased you have the experience of a caring therapist in your life. I’ll send you the poem I mentioned.

I got the sense of a spirit guide like L did. The magick and mystery surrounding him, yet the obvious comfort he brings to you. I love the flow and content of this poem. Well done.

I loved your poem Cat. Is the word magic the correct word. Great thoughts brings home the sense of falling for your therapist!
