05/25 The view from the mountain top

(Read More...)

View from atop the mountain

Like ants insignificant,
In a landscape of fern,
And fauna all consuming.
Yet deathly silent,
In a time freeze way.
Oh perfect vision,
That you display.
With air so thin,
That breath gets sucked.
And the heart feels giddy,
In wondrous awe.
At this expanse,
Like an eagle's soar.
A view that spans,
More than eye can see.
Untainted by humanity.
Yet this perfection,
Gets disrupted.
When darkness cloud,
Comes rolling in.
To spoil the beauty,
Of that far off land.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

Consider clarifying the imagery and sensory details to enhance the reader's experience. The shift from describing the vastness and beauty of the scene to the disruption by darkness could be made more impactful by deepening the emotional or symbolic significance of the "darkness cloud." Additionally, phrases such as "deathly silent, in a time freeze way" could be further refined or expanded to provide clearer imagery or more precise emotional resonance. The comparison to ants and the eagle's perspective effectively conveys scale, but consider varying or deepening these metaphors to avoid familiar or predictable imagery. Finally, the rhythm and line breaks could be adjusted to more effectively guide the reader through the shifts in tone and imagery.

I enjoyed...

the rolling rhythm of this from the beginning.
You have chosen words that go together without rhyming.
Nicely done, the thoughts are clear and the rhythm smooth.

Thank you

Always appreciate your feedback.
Non rhyming poetry doesn't come as naturally to me.
Therefore I am glad it turned out ok.
