November 2023 Write about Success

(Read More...)

Success

Success is not a major event
It may simply be a present
Success exists in many ways
Sometimes not so pleasant
Actions that exist throughout our days

It could be a long awaited kiss
By people that we really miss
Success could also be a wish
Fulfilled in ways that create bliss
As simple as a favorite dish

Success exists in our mind
It exists in thoughts we find
Words that are so snappy
Actions that are so kind
Everyday actions that are so happy

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

The poem "Success" effectively explores the multifaceted nature of success, suggesting that it can be found in various forms and experiences. The use of everyday examples, such as a long-awaited kiss or a favorite dish, makes the concept of success relatable and accessible to a wide range of readers.

However, the poem could benefit from a more consistent rhythm and rhyme scheme. The irregularity of the syllable count in each line disrupts the flow of the poem. For instance, the first stanza has lines of 7, 6, 6, 6, and 7 syllables, while the second stanza has lines of 9, 7, 6, 6, and 6 syllables. This inconsistency can be jarring for the reader and detract from the overall message.

In terms of rhyme, the poem seems to follow an ABCCB scheme in the first two stanzas, but this is not maintained in the third and fourth stanzas. This lack of consistency can also disrupt the flow and coherence of the poem.

Furthermore, the poem could delve deeper into the exploration of success. While the examples provided are relatable, they remain on the surface level. The poem could benefit from a more nuanced exploration of success, perhaps by delving into the emotional or psychological aspects of these everyday successes.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from more vivid and unique imagery. While the examples given are relatable, they are also quite common. Using more unique or unexpected imagery could help to make the poem more engaging and memorable for the reader.

In conclusion, while the poem effectively communicates the multifaceted nature of success, it could benefit from a more consistent rhythm and rhyme scheme, a deeper exploration of success, and more vivid and unique imagery.

Geezer

the rhyme scheme that perhaps the AI doesn't, or it may be that it just doesn't read any farther than the first few lines, with any
interest. Nicely done, sir. ~ Geez.
