Sunset (Loop Poetry)
Loop Poetry:
Sunset
Afternoon sun creates a canopy of light
light which enriches the balmy day.
Day of vivid colours, now courting evening
evening carries perfume' scented breezes.
Breezes fragrant, as the sun sets below
Below the horizon's edge of hues,
hues irrupting in a spray of glory
glory so fitting the closing of day.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Sunset" effectively utilizes the loop poetry format to create a vivid and immersive depiction of a sunset. The repetition of the last word of each line at the beginning of the next line contributes to the rhythmic flow of the poem, which mirrors the cyclical nature of a day.
The use of sensory language, such as "canopy of light," "perfume' scented breezes," and "irrupting in a spray of glory," enhances the reader's experience by engaging multiple senses. This allows the reader to not only visualize the scene but also to smell and feel it, thereby creating a more immersive experience.
However, there are a few areas that could be improved. The phrase "Day of vivid colours, now courting evening" is somewhat ambiguous. The use of the word "courting" suggests a romantic or flirtatious interaction between the day and the evening, but it's not entirely clear what this means. It might be helpful to clarify or expand on this metaphor to ensure that readers fully understand the intended meaning.
Additionally, the phrase "glory so fitting the closing of day" is a bit awkward. It might be more effective to rephrase this line to something like "glory fitting for the day's close" to improve the flow and readability of the poem.
Lastly, the use of the word "irrupting" in the line "hues irrupting in a spray of glory" is a bit jarring. While it's clear that the intent is to convey a sudden, dramatic display of color, the word "irrupting" is typically used to describe a violent or disruptive event, which seems at odds with the otherwise peaceful and serene tone of the poem. Consider using a different word that conveys a sense of suddenness or drama without the negative connotations.
