The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Prod me" effectively uses repetition and imperative verbs to convey a sense of urgency and desire for improvement. However, it could benefit from more specific imagery and metaphor to create a more engaging and immersive experience for the reader.
The repeated use of the pronouns "me" and "I" places the focus on the speaker, but it may be more effective to shift some of this focus onto the actions and emotions being expressed. For example, instead of "Speak to me", consider using a metaphor such as "Let your words paint my thoughts".
The poem could also benefit from a more varied structure. The current structure, while effective in conveying a sense of pleading, could be varied to create a more dynamic rhythm and flow. For example, alternating between short and long lines, or between statements and questions, could help to maintain reader interest and engagement.
Finally, the phrase "I'm all yours / For the taking" could be interpreted in different ways, and it may be worth considering whether this ambiguity is intentional and effective. If not, consider revising this phrase to more clearly convey the speaker's intended meaning.

Hello, Gogetter,
I think this poem speaks for all of us! That's why we keep reading and commenting on the work of others, and keep writing our own!
Thank you!

I really feel the same way you do
So happy am I that I have found a way to have this outlet to write my thoughts out, whether I am down or up. It is no matter to me. If you notice, at the moment I am up. But whatever I want to say and whoever inspires me and you fellow neopoets will have guessed the same name that pops up in my poems, I adore the writing experience and the generous feedback given to me about my poems. I have started experimenting with longer sentences in my poems quite recently when I read an anthology of local poets, However, this poem is staccato due to the fact that it is all action. My mind was sparking quite quickly. This is a wonderful community to be part of. I am so grateful I discovered Neopoet. Thank you for the response Lavender ( PS I love your penname. I was given mine )
