A Day In The Library

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

The poem "A Day In The Library" follows a consistent haiku structure, maintaining a 5-7-5 syllable count across each stanza. This structure brings a sense of rhythm and order to the poem, which complements its theme of finding solace and self-discovery in the library.

However, there are areas where the poem could be improved. The line "Books upon books out the door" is somewhat ambiguous. It's unclear whether this means there are so many books that they're spilling out of the door, or if it's referring to taking books out of the library. Clarifying this imagery could enhance the reader's understanding.

In the third stanza, the word "peek" is used, which typically means to look quickly or secretly. It seems the intended word might be "peak," referring to a high point or maximum. This confusion detracts from the poem's overall clarity.

The poem's theme of self-discovery and personal freedom through reading is a strong one. However, the final stanza could benefit from more specific imagery or examples to show this transformation. Rather than stating "A person who is so free / Able to be me," consider showing what this freedom looks like or how it manifests for the speaker. This could make the poem's conclusion more impactful.

Finally, consider the poem's use of rhyme. While not all haikus need to rhyme, the inconsistent rhyme scheme in this poem (only the second and fourth stanzas rhyme) could be distracting for some readers. Either maintaining a consistent rhyme scheme or removing it entirely could improve the poem's flow.

I like the idea of this but as the first line says, so much more to explore. Could build into something very interesting. Alex.

with Alex. I'm beginning to see there is more to your story than I would have imagined. Yes, it could be very interesting.

I don't usually like perfect rhymes but I think the use of them here really accentuates the urgency which with the poem is meant to convey. I also understand this feeling especially lately, I am overwhelmed by all the books I want to read but I have a hard time knowing which one I'm ready for.
