My Cup Runneth Over

It happened
when you

flowed into
my world and

whispered
"I do."

A porcelain
vessel

became the
boundless sea.

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

This poem, titled "My Cup Runneth Over," is a brief but powerful exploration of the transformative power of love. The speaker describes the moment when their beloved entered their life and made it infinitely richer - simply by saying "I do." The metaphor of a porcelain vessel becoming a boundless sea is striking, emphasizing how love can expand our world beyond what we ever thought possible.

One possible line edit to consider would be changing "flowed into" to "walked into," as the latter may more clearly evoke the image of the beloved entering the speaker's life.

Overall, "My Cup Runneth Over" is a beautifully concise and evocative poem that captures the profound impact of love on the human heart.

Thank you!

I will consider the suggestion of "walked" - though I wanted the image to bring something that would enhance "runneth over."
Thanks again!
