The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem follows a clear alphabetical structure, which provides a helpful framework for younger readers. However, there are several areas that could benefit from revision:
1. Grammar and spelling:
- "It taste a little sweet." should be "It tastes a little sweet."
- "They are great inside a stores" is grammatically incorrect; consider revising to "They are great toasted over fires" or "They taste good in s'mores."
- "Nachoes" should be "Nachos."
- "Quanditilla" appears to be a misspelling of "Quesadilla."
2. Clarity and accuracy:
- "Pizza with tomato sauce inside" could be clarified, as pizza typically has sauce beneath toppings rather than "inside." Consider rephrasing to "Pizza topped with sauce and cheese" or something similar.
- "Raspberry tart—Together they go very well" is unclear. What does "together" refer to? Clarify the pairing or revise for clarity.
3. Consistency of rhythm and rhyme:
- The poem generally follows a rhyming couplet structure, but some lines disrupt the rhythm. For example, "Q is for Quanditilla. Cheese melted in a flour shell" breaks the established rhythmic pattern. Consider revising to maintain consistent meter and rhyme.
Addressing these points will strengthen the poem's readability, accuracy, and overall coherence.

Hi Mary, I like your poem and
Hi Mary, I like your poem and it is a lot of food fun. Well done. Your experience of writing for children is coming through in your words.
Can I point out a few areas for improvement to smooth your rhymes and give a more consistent flow while keeping the fun tone. If you don't want to use these please don't. I won't be offended and they are just my suggestions.
M is for marshmallow,
Soft and fluffy, melting slow.
This would get rid of the typo, (a stores) and smooth the rhyme.
N is for nachos,
Crispy chips with cheese galore.
Q is for quesadilla,
Cheese and warmth inside its shell. This will smooth the rhyme and erase the typo.
I hope this helps. Ruby xx

Hello Mary.
I enjoyed this, except for Pizza which I dislike, but love Raspberry Tart with lashings of Ice Cream. Alex

Thanks Alex
I appreciate any comments you would like to suggest. I am just starting out with my poems. Sorry you don't like pizza. If I could make you one of my raspberry tarts I would deliver with some warm tart and homemade ice cream.

Hi Mary, I'm so glad you
Hi Mary, I'm so glad you liked my suggestions. If any of them resonate with you, feel free to use them and change your poem so it reads better. I think they could help make certain parts stand out more and might even draw more interaction from others on the site.
But of course, it’s your poem, and what matters most is that you're happy with it. Ruby xx
