Ode to Geezer
To the voice
That prods me
And makes me
A better poet.
For the words
That I add,
To improve
The poems that I write.
For the one
Who reminds me
To sustain
The rhyme
And rhythm
In my poems.
For the one
Who reads
My poems
On Neopoet.
My gratitude
To you.
And all the very best
For the New Year!

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
Upon analyzing the poem "Ode to Geezer," several points of feedback can be provided.
1. Structure: The poem maintains a consistent structure, with short lines and stanzas. This lends a rhythmic quality to the poem, which can be effective in engaging the reader.
2. Rhyme and Rhythm: The poem does not strictly adhere to a specific rhyme scheme. While this is not a requirement for a good poem, the introduction of a consistent rhyme scheme could enhance the musicality of the poem and create a more immersive reading experience.
3. Imagery and Language: The poem is quite straightforward in its language and does not employ much in the way of figurative language or imagery. The use of more descriptive or metaphorical language could help to create a more vivid picture in the reader's mind and deepen the emotional impact of the poem.
4. Theme and Message: The poem's theme of gratitude is clear and effectively communicated. However, the poem could benefit from a deeper exploration of this theme. For example, the poet could provide specific examples of how the subject of the poem has helped them improve their poetry, or describe the impact this has had on their life more broadly.
5. Title: The title "Ode to Geezer" is intriguing and prompts curiosity in the reader. However, the connection between the title and the content of the poem could be made clearer. The poet might consider revising the title to more accurately reflect the poem's theme or content, or alternatively, incorporating the concept of the "Geezer" more explicitly into the poem itself.
In summary, while the poem effectively communicates a theme of gratitude, it could be enhanced through the introduction of a consistent rhyme scheme, the use of more descriptive language, a deeper exploration of its theme, and a clearer connection between its title and content.

I am flattered...
Thank you for this huge honor. I am just a part of Neopoet, I do what I do for love of the site and the people here, I don't think of myself as being anyone special, I just do what we are supposed to do, here at Neo. I don't think that there is any way that I can express my gratitude, except to continue helping wherever I can, thank you for this huge honor. Geezer.

Response to Geezer
So glad that I could express my gratitude to you Geezer. Your assistance has improved my poetry in very meaningful ways. I can see that I am now very deliberate in the way I use my words and even my punctuation to add value to my poems. I just wrote two very long poems a few minutes ago very early in the morning, probably the best time for me. I also edit them quite carefully now, in ways I did not when I first began to add poems to Neopoet. Continue to prod me with any suggestions you have. I love learning and improving my writing skills.

Apologies for the non-response to you
Hi Candlewitch. I do hope that I have not offended you. I just got to this message. By the way , Candlewitch, I quite like cats now. I got used to them because of my one of my daughters. They are very complex animals!
