The Love of a Poet

There's something special about
Being loved
By a poet

They notice the little things

The way your hair
Curls around your ears
Like the waves of the ocean
Rolling over itself

How your fingers
Wrap around the steering wheel
The same way they wrap around mine

How your eyes
Shine in the sunlight
Like fire and ice colliding

And the best part is
They write it all down
And share it with the world
Making your presence and beauty
Your life and love
Everlasting

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

The poem "The Love of a Poet" beautifully captures the essence of being loved by a poet and the attention to detail they bring to their observations. The imagery used to describe the way the poet sees and appreciates the loved one's characteristics is vivid and evocative. The comparison of the loved one's hair to the waves of the ocean, the description of their fingers wrapping around the steering wheel, and the depiction of their eyes shining like fire and ice colliding all create a strong visual impact. The idea that the poet immortalizes these moments through their writing is a poignant reflection on the power of art to preserve love and beauty. Overall, the poem effectively conveys the unique perspective and expression of love that a poet can offer.

Geezer

is good; of course, I am predisposed to poets and poetry.
The language is simple and doesn't take away from the theme.
The rhythm and pace is gentle and holds your hand all the way through.
I like the theme, it brings to mind a poet and partner that they want to introduce to the world at large.
The logic is good and keeps the whole thing going from beginning to end. Nice job! ~ Geez.

I have written some poetry about the love of my life but never from their point of view. Well done
