Enough

A beautiful word
that means so much.
The sound of it
rolls off my tongue
with joy.
Right now.
In this moment.
Opens you
to everything,
making it possible.
Say it with a smile.
Meet it with warmth
and kindness.
It is there just for you.

About This Poem

Last Few Words: This is the word I use to meditate by and with. It was introduced to me as a phrase, but I have found that it focuses me. I think of all the possible combinations with "enough"- good enough, smart enough- and many other possibilities. It relaxes me, so I wanted to use it in a poem.

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

The poem "Enough" effectively conveys a sense of appreciation and contentment through its exploration of the word "enough." The repetition of the word and its positive connotations create a sense of fulfillment and gratitude. However, the poem could benefit from further development in terms of imagery and depth. Consider incorporating more vivid descriptions or specific examples to enhance the emotional impact of the poem. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as metaphor or symbolism could add layers of meaning to the overall message. Overall, the poem has a strong foundation but could be strengthened by expanding on its themes and incorporating more nuanced language.
