Rhapsody in Flowers! (Revised)
Moonlight on your face
I touch you at fields gate.
your kiss upon my lips
The dawn only awaits
to separate our fleshy bodies.
The forces soon will come
to quench the holy fire.
As we brazenly retire
to our separate homes
In the interim between
we madly contemplate
the coming of tomorrow
as we once again perspire
and lay our bodies down
to twirl there round and round
in fields of poppies found
to quickly come unwound
uncontrolled and heaven bound
as we utter ardent sounds
which satyrs do resound!

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Rhapsody in Flowers!" presents a vivid and passionate narrative, utilizing a variety of poetic devices to convey emotion and imagery. However, there are several areas that could be improved for clarity and impact.
Firstly, the poem could benefit from more consistent use of punctuation. In its current state, the lack of punctuation can make the poem difficult to read and understand. For example, the line "to tare and separate" would be clearer if it were punctuated as "to tare, and separate".
Secondly, the poem's rhythm and meter could be more consistent. The varying line lengths and syllable counts create an irregular rhythm, which can be jarring for the reader. A more consistent rhythm would enhance the flow of the poem and make it more engaging.
Lastly, the poem's language and diction could be refined. Some phrases, such as "the forces that will come to quench the holy fire", are somewhat abstract and could be clarified. Similarly, the use of the word "satyrs" in the final line is potentially confusing, as it introduces a mythological element that is not present elsewhere in the poem.
In conclusion, while the poem effectively conveys passion and emotion, it could be improved by refining its punctuation, rhythm, and language.

Dear John,
hello, my friend,
I love pastoral scenes, which is so indicated in the closing line! I also love your high energy and your up beat attitude. You have put a smile on my face, this morning! my favorite lines are:
we madly contemplate
the coming of tomorrow
as we once again perspire
and lay our bodies down
to twirl there round and round
in fields of poppies found
to quickly come unwound
uncontrolled and heaven bound
as we utter ardent sounds
which satyrs do resound!
hugs, Cat xxx

Thank you for taking the time to read this one. I need to refine it and I'll probably do that today. I hope all is well with you!

Hello, my friend...
We had our first snowfall of the year yesterday...all day! I had a front row seat in my easy chair across from the deck door(huge full length glass windows) It snowed all day! I am hoping that the ground is cold enough for it to stay... about five inches of cold beauty!
I am fine, with all the usual aches and pains that seem to always be present. nothing major. I hope you are well.
love, Cat xxx
