This Is Our Golden Hour, My Love

Maybe in the next life
we'll be birds...
free as the breeze,
watching the golden hour
from our favorite tree,
snuggling close in the winter months
in our nest made from the bones
of this lifetime

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

The imagery of being birds in the next life is a powerful metaphor for freedom and closeness. The idea of watching the golden hour from a favorite tree and snuggling in a nest made from the bones of this lifetime evokes a sense of longing and connection. Consider exploring the emotions and experiences of the speaker more deeply to enhance the impact of the poem. Additionally, you may want to further develop the metaphor of birds to create a stronger thematic thread throughout the piece.

Hello!

This is just the kind of poem I like. I can feel it's meaning more than I can explain it. Very beautiful!
