The Astute Lover
The astute lover
Kisses the throat
Of Autumn-Beauty
Still hot from Summer's
Fierce caresses
Venus is no Spring-Nymph
Yet her erotic skills
Are world known

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "The Astute Lover" evokes a sense of passion and sensuality through its imagery and use of mythical references. The juxtaposition of Autumn and Summer, along with the mention of Venus, adds depth to the theme of love and desire. However, to enhance the impact of the poem, consider refining the structure and flow of the verses. You may want to explore varying the rhythm or experimenting with different line breaks to create a more dynamic reading experience. Additionally, focusing on developing a consistent tone throughout the poem can help strengthen its overall message.

The intention to portray
The intention to portray the beauty of a woman desirable in her mature years. An oddity that woman reaches her stage of sexual potency 55-57 men 17-21 my contention a young man should be initiated into the arts of love with such a woman. I'm 47 now so my time has passed lol xxx
