I recall your smile, front of forsythia, full bloom.
Photographs on a sunshine day, McPherson Park.
Walking walkways, finding recollections, blossoming times.
You make me young, again, like forsythia blossoms.
A gentle breeze moves your hair strings, red, veiled.
I’m blown away, cross fragrances, early springtime,
Our lives fine, now sublime.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Early Springtime" presents a vivid and emotional portrayal of a memory. The use of specific details, such as the "forsythia, full bloom" and "sunshine day, McPherson Park," helps to ground the poem in a particular time and place, which can make the emotional resonance of the poem more impactful for readers.
The structure of the poem, with its centered alignment and consistent use of commas, creates a certain rhythm and pacing that mirrors the act of recalling a memory. This can help to further immerse readers in the poem's narrative and emotional landscape.
However, the poem's clarity could be improved in some areas. For instance, the phrase "hair strings, red, veiled" is somewhat ambiguous and could be interpreted in multiple ways. If this ambiguity is intentional, it could be beneficial to provide more context or imagery to guide readers' interpretations. If not, consider revising for clarity.
Additionally, the phrase "I’m blown away, cross fragrances, early springtime," while evocative, could benefit from more specific imagery. What kind of fragrances? How does being "blown away" manifest physically or emotionally? Providing more detail here could make this moment more vivid and impactful.
Finally, the poem's conclusion, "Our lives fine, now sublime," is a powerful statement, but it could be strengthened with more development earlier in the poem. Consider exploring more deeply what makes their lives "sublime" and how this change has occurred. This could provide a more satisfying resolution and deepen the emotional impact of the poem.
Overall, this poem effectively uses specific details and a consistent structure to create a vivid and emotional portrayal of a memory. With some revisions for clarity and development, it could be even more impactful.
