12/24 What is Friendship?

(Read More...)

I can’t call it

The only friend I have
is the one that butt-dials me.
At least they cared enough
to enter my number,
but not as much to save me.

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

This poem explores the theme of loneliness and the complexities of human relationships. The use of humor in the first line adds a light-hearted tone to the poem, contrasting with the underlying sense of isolation conveyed in the subsequent lines. The juxtaposition of someone accidentally calling the speaker with the speaker's feelings of being uncared for creates a poignant reflection on the nature of friendship and connection. Consider further developing the emotions and thoughts surrounding this dynamic to deepen the impact of the poem on the reader. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as metaphor or symbolism could enhance the overall depth and complexity of the piece.

A friend is one who mis-dials, nice thought.
