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

The poem effectively captures the frantic search for a charger and outlet as the phone battery dwindles. The repetition of percentages creates a sense of urgency and the relief at finding the charger and phone is palpable. However, the poem could benefit from further exploration of emotions or reflections during this experience to deepen its impact on the reader. Consider delving into the feelings of frustration, panic, or relief in more detail to enhance the narrative. Additionally, experimenting with different poetic devices such as imagery or metaphor could add layers of complexity to the poem.
