pleasing piece

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet’s AI:

This poem explores the creative process with a reflective tone, capturing the transformation of a seemingly trivial act into something meaningful. The rhyme scheme is consistent (ABAB CDCD), which lends a rhythmic structure that supports the contemplative mood.

The use of phrases like "poured upon my page some random rhyme" and "shaved of strain and stress" effectively conveys a casual, almost effortless approach to writing, which contrasts nicely with the later realization of value in the work. The metaphor of ink "congealing" to form a "pleasing piece" is vivid and apt, suggesting that even spontaneous efforts can solidify into something worthwhile.

One area for potential refinement is the phrase "Untimely born," which feels slightly ambiguous. Clarifying what "untimely" refers to—whether the poem was created at an inconvenient moment or prematurely—could strengthen the reader’s understanding. Additionally, the word "paltry" in the final line effectively contrasts prose with poetry but might be softened or replaced if the intention is to celebrate rather than diminish prose.

Overall, the poem’s concise structure and thoughtful language effectively communicate the theme of unexpected artistic satisfaction. Further exploration of the emotional nuances behind the initial hesitation and eventual appreciation could deepen the reader’s engagement.

While the subject matter is not of great importance, it is certainly given a good place 
in the description of one's day. I would have gone for a more regular cadence in the rhythm, but it works well enough. The ending gives the reader a sense of not having "wasted" time but doing something that produces a feeling of some accomplishment. All in all, not a waste of time.  Geez.

Yeah, it's pleasing enough, I think. I'm not sure that untimely is really the word you want.
