North Country Moon

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

The poem "North Country Moon" presents a vivid imagery of a moonlit night and the interaction between the moon and the wolves. It effectively uses metaphorical language to convey deeper meanings. However, there are areas where the poem could be improved.

Firstly, the poem could benefit from a more consistent rhythm. The lines vary significantly in length, which can disrupt the flow of the poem. It might be beneficial to revise the poem with a specific meter in mind to create a more harmonious rhythm.

Secondly, the poem could use more concrete imagery. While the metaphors are evocative, they could be grounded in more specific descriptions. For instance, instead of simply stating "wisps of cloudy tendrils," the poem could describe the color, texture, or movement of the clouds to create a more vivid picture.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from a clearer narrative or thematic progression. While the interaction between the moon and the wolves is intriguing, it's not entirely clear how this interaction develops or what it signifies. Developing this aspect of the poem could provide a more satisfying resolution and deepen the poem's overall impact.

Is good, and feels like a title for a blind date. I love the idea of the wolves never having laid eyes on each other, singing and arranging to meet. A blind date! The pace was good and I didn't stumble. In the first line, I would use (A pearl disc) or some other word for the moon, as you make sure that the fifth line says "Lady Moon". Other than that, a great poem! Very nicely done. - Geez.

I love this. Wolves are one of my favorite creatures and I love the concept of how they connect through howls and not in person. The language and flow matched the meaning behind the poem perfectly.

Hi Cat! Enjoyed the imagery in this piece - perfect moods for winter - plus wolves and a pearl moon - good stuff!

Best

This left me breathless for a while. It has much to say between the lines. I especially like the language used and the imagery.
A competitive entry for the contest I think.
Best wishes dear and thank you for sharing.
P S. I'm not sure I got the "young.she- wolfs"
Should it be wolves or wolf's?

Hi Cat, I enjoyed reading your poem, your descriptions and images are excellent and work perfectly together. I could feel the cold from your poem on the wolfs breath. Thank you, Ruby xx

Dear Sis,

as expected your piece has a beautifully lyrical quality, evoking a sense of nature’s ethereal beauty while also delving into themes of love & longing. You’ve created an atmosphere that feels both serene & full of quiet intensity, & the imagery is vivid & elegant.

The imagery in this poem is rich & evocative. The description of the moon as a "pearl orb" & the "wisps of cloudy tendrils" drifting by creates a tranquil, almost otherworldly setting. The "faithful silver wolf" serenading the moon is a powerful image, suggesting both loyalty & a deep, mystical connection between the wolf & the moon. The detail of the "frosted breath on the timberlines" enhances the cold, wintry feel, making it feel both romantic & raw.

The rhythm of the poem is smooth & consistent, with a gentle cadence that matches the quiet majesty of the scene. The tone is lyrical, almost like a ballad, adding to the sense of timelessness in the connection between the wolves & the moon.

Overall, this poem beautifully captures the silent, emotional dance between the wolves & the moon. The imagery is strong, & the tone is perfect for the mood you’re setting.

In short Sis, this is awesome!

Thank you for your gift you always impress me! I loved this poem it reminded me of older poems which you have written. You keep getting better as time passes by!

Nice cat you made it happen in my imagination.

Thanks,

If I was to guess who could take the moon an wolves and write poem about them it would be you. Well done

I wish I had known.

Hi Cat, for me the interplay of the characters/elements and their dynamic flowed seamlessly with the building mood from title to its closing that. The reader had surely not walked away empty or unfilled. And for me that constitutes substance and gravitas. Much enjoyed :-)
