GLOBAL WARNING

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

The poem "Global Warning" uses strong imagery and a clear message to express concerns about environmental degradation and its impact on humanity. The use of rhetorical questions in the first and second stanzas effectively engages the reader and encourages contemplation about the consequences of our actions.

However, the poem could benefit from a more consistent rhythm and rhyme scheme. The first stanza follows an ABAB rhyme scheme, but this pattern is not maintained in the following stanzas. Consistency in rhyme and rhythm can enhance the musicality of the poem and make it more engaging for the reader.

The metaphor of money as "plastic-painted vapour" is intriguing but may be confusing to some readers. Clarifying or expanding on this metaphor could make the poem more accessible and impactful.

Lastly, the final line "Stay silent, in death, we trust" is a powerful ending but may benefit from rephrasing for clarity. The phrase "in death, we trust" could be interpreted in various ways, and it's unclear how it relates to the rest of the poem. Making this connection clearer could strengthen the overall message of the poem.

Overall, the poem effectively communicates a critical message about environmental issues. With some adjustments to rhythm, rhyme, and clarity, it could be even more impactful.

the truth is on the page...the point of no return! I will probably not see the end, I am too old. But I did see the writing on the wall. I signed my protests...did what I could. But the greedy wer too strong. I hope they are the last to go... I am heartbroken.

Hi, Ruby,
Perfect title. Can't help but think of The Lorax. You've hit the mark.
Thank you,

For sure but the billionaires don't see a thing wrong with it! Your poem said it all. Very powerful.

I really enjoyed your poem. Seeing the daily news I think you hit the mark displaying modern day thoughts about what is happening!

If it is up to our politicians alone-we are in trouble! Unless there is a great deal of money to be earned by them!

Working together a significant part of Democracy seems to be lost!

It's too bad that we have to take the rest of the world with us. This poem adds a great deal of detail to a scenario that I've come to believe is our fate. Imagine you are looking at our world from a million miles away. You don't see the detail. What you see is an infection that, like a bacterial culture in a petri dish, consumes everything and dies from the toxicity of its own waste. That is what I've come to view the human race as and we are killing our world with our toxicity.

It is a very black future that your poem describes very well. I wish I could see a way out of it.

What a statement, but there are fools and wisemen who have been warning us for decades. The oppulent may
someday consume our flesh as pork, truly? Kind of a scarey deal. All I can say is help the dude next to you now, today!

Definately clear and I think, in all honesty some people need a good shaking. Thanks for valuing my input.

I read over this two times this morning and just thought we had better do a heads up, because it's coming our way!! Thanks for the WARNING!!! Great, great item of discussion as well as sentiment.

..this issue bullies its way into my thoughts...I shudder to think of one possible solution. Your presentation is sobering.
