The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet’s AI:
The poem employs a direct and straightforward approach to describing the iPad, personifying it as both a "black box" and a "best friend." The use of simple language and short lines creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The poem's structure is minimal, with a lack of punctuation and a single stanza, which may reflect the uncomplicated relationship the speaker has with the device.
There is a typographical error in the second line ("A a real life tool") that disrupts the flow and may distract the reader. The poem could benefit from more concrete imagery or specific examples to illustrate how the iPad helps "keep memories strong" or "engage with all my family." As it stands, the poem relies on general statements rather than sensory details or figurative language, which limits its emotional impact.
The personification of the iPad as a "best friend" is an interesting choice, but it is not developed beyond the declaration. Expanding on this idea—perhaps by describing specific interactions or moments—could deepen the reader's understanding of the relationship.
Overall, the poem presents a clear theme but would be strengthened by attention to detail, revision of language for clarity, and the inclusion of more vivid or specific imagery.

Hello, Clentin,
This appears to be a version of what Shadow Poetry lists as a Triquain. There are many different line count versions.
I like the personification with this - technology offers a wonderful way to interact with loved ones.
Thank you!
