Reinventing Myself
I'm a work in progress
I've made
significant changes
in my life.
I had to.
So
I am reinventing myself
to become
a more developed person
who continues
to learn new skills
and grow.
I've changed
the way
I do things.
I've noticed this.
What you do
when you must
is just there
and it happens.
It isn't good.
It isn't bad.
It just is.
But sometimes
it's fun.
I'm only up to
what I am
right now.
I'm in the moment.
I'm present.
I'm here.
Where I head to
is just on the horizon.
I'm not there yet.
I haven't arrived
at my destination.
That will be a surprise.
About This Poem
Last Few Words: Sitting with my ukulele in my music lesson yesterday, learning fingering and notes, I was smiling very broadly. I have come quite far from where I was three years ago.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
Your poem "Reinventing Myself" explores the theme of personal growth and transformation. The repetition of phrases like "I've changed" and "I'm reinventing myself" effectively conveys the idea of ongoing self-improvement. The use of short, simple sentences creates a sense of directness and clarity in your message.
One suggestion for improvement would be to consider incorporating more vivid imagery or specific details to enhance the reader's connection to your journey of reinvention. Adding sensory details or concrete examples could make your transformation more tangible and engaging for the audience.
Additionally, you may want to experiment with varying the rhythm or structure of your poem to create more dynamic shifts in tone or pacing. This could help to sustain the reader's interest and add depth to your exploration of personal change.
Overall, your poem effectively captures the essence of personal evolution, but further development in terms of imagery and structure could elevate its impact and resonance.
