Boundless
Like a neon light in a darkened room my
Eyes are consumed by the iridescent display imagine a rainbow on the darkest
Night what a display to view an image
Hewn from my imagination such a breathtaking display from my own point of
View like the aurora Borealis my mind scatters thought far and wide too deep
To hide but yet unknown from self as I
Stoop to hide from reflections and others
Views which make no point or contact
I am an ambient source of light my own
Reflection based on your opinions which
Matter not as I won't view myself by others
Opinions of what my imagination can display, what I am I create, boundless.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Boundless" explores the theme of self-perception and the power of imagination. The use of vivid imagery like "neon light in a darkened room" and "aurora Borealis" effectively conveys the idea of inner creativity and self-expression. However, there are areas where the poem could be strengthened.
Consider refining the structure and flow of the poem to enhance readability and coherence. Some lines feel fragmented, such as "View an image / Hewn from my imagination." Try to connect these ideas more smoothly to maintain a consistent rhythm throughout the poem.
Additionally, pay attention to punctuation and capitalization to ensure clarity and consistency. For example, consider using punctuation marks like commas and periods to guide the reader through the poem and emphasize key points.
Lastly, consider expanding on the central theme of self-perception and imagination to provide deeper insight or reflection. How does the concept of being "boundless" relate to the speaker's sense of self and creativity? Delve further

Boundless
Afternoon my Brother in Poetic Arms,
Something tells me I may have read this one before, but my memory isn't the best so apologies if I'm wrong!
Your words are wonderfully introspective & have a vivid quality, delving into themes of self-reflection, creativity, & independence from others' perceptions.
As always with your work, your imagery is striking; especially - 'neon light in a darkened room,' & 'rainbow on the darkest night,' & 'aurora Borealis' which, as is your speciality, create vivid visuals that pull the reader into a world of light & colour. These elements work really well in conveying the internal landscape you're describing.
You explore the tension between external expectations & the individual's inner world. It expresses how one’s true self can be shaped by their own imagination & how it's important to reject the limiting views of others. This theme is empowering, suggesting that your creative vision & sense of self should come from within, not based on outside judgments.
It has typical Ziggyish flow & awkward balance which is your unique characteristic.
You've done a great job capturing the idea of self-empowerment & creativity.
I'd give it 6 out of 10! Only kidding!!
This is an outstanding piece & hopefully will get the recognition it deserves.
