We sat at a table together

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

The poem titled "The Beginning" captures a moment of intimacy between two individuals sitting at a table. The brevity of the poem allows for a focused exploration of this particular moment. However, there are a few areas where the poem could be strengthened.

First, consider expanding on the sensory details in the poem. By incorporating more vivid imagery, you can enhance the reader's experience and create a more immersive atmosphere. For example, you could describe the setting, the lighting, or the emotions that the characters are experiencing.

Additionally, the poem could benefit from further exploration of the emotions and thoughts of the characters. By delving deeper into their internal states, you can add depth and complexity to the poem. This could involve reflecting on their motivations, desires, or the significance of the moment they are sharing.

Lastly, consider experimenting with the structure and form of the poem. While the simplicity of the current structure is effective in conveying the immediacy of the moment, you may want to explore different poetic techniques

Simple

Yet says so much...I have had moments like these...one person in particular...the world stopped for that brief time and nothing else seemed to exist...it was a feeling like no other...well done.
