Spark to Embers (Wildflowers II)

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

The poem "Wildflowers II" presents a vivid exploration of emotional pain and subsequent healing through love. The use of metaphors and similes is effective in conveying the speaker's emotional journey. However, there are a few areas where the poem could be improved.

Firstly, the poem could benefit from a more consistent use of imagery. The first two stanzas present a strong, visceral image of emotional pain through the metaphor of an open wound and septic love. However, this level of imagery is not maintained throughout the poem. For instance, the metaphor of the soul as "fuel for fire" is somewhat abstract and could be made more concrete and vivid.

Secondly, the poem could benefit from a more consistent rhythm. The first two stanzas have a rhythmic consistency, with each line containing roughly the same number of syllables. However, this rhythm is not maintained in the later stanzas, which can disrupt the flow of the poem.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from a more nuanced exploration of the speaker's emotional journey. The transition from pain to healing is presented rather abruptly, with little exploration of the process of healing. The poem could be strengthened by delving deeper into this process, perhaps by exploring the speaker's initial resistance to love, or the gradual realization of their love for the other person.

Overall, the poem effectively conveys a powerful emotional journey, but could be improved by maintaining a consistent use of imagery and rhythm, and by exploring the speaker's emotional journey in more depth.

Your love for this person is shining like a diamond in the rising sun!
I don't see anything that I would change, [except maybe the designation of the piece being free verse! Great job! ~ Geez.

with sir Geez. But I am a bit doubtful about the title.

Hello, Cat,
I agree - this is wonderful. Such a strong feeling of pain vs. healing. I kinda like the title, or at least include "Wildflowers" because what might be considered weeds to some, are actually beautiful flowers to others. Very perceptive.
Thank you!

I think "sky's" should be skies in that final line?

I really do love your writing. It's deep and resonates with me quite a bit. This is a beautiful piece of finding love after pain. Hope after sorrow. As for a title it made me think of Embers. So maybe something a long those lines. Especially with your imagery of fuel to fire.

A very real depiction of love and sometimes our lovers are the people we admire most. Always remember you are strong, brilliant, and wonderful too and they are the line but you are the one pulling the rope. It’s a blessing to have that true connection.
