Things That Get Me Through The Day

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

The poem "Things That Get Me Through The Day" is a reflection on gratitude and the aspects of life that provide motivation and purpose. The poem uses a consistent AABB rhyme scheme, which lends a rhythmic quality to the piece.

However, the poem could benefit from more vivid and specific imagery. While the sentiments expressed are relatable, the language used to convey them is quite general. For example, instead of "The work that stimulates my mind," the poet might consider describing a specific task or challenge that stimulates them.

The poem also tends to tell rather than show. For instance, "A spouse that remains loving and caring" could be more effectively conveyed through a specific anecdote or detail that illustrates this love and care.

The final two lines, "These are the things that keep me awake/Designing the daily actions to take," suggest a tension between the comforting aspects of life and the responsibility of making choices. This tension could be further explored and developed throughout the poem to add depth and complexity.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from a more varied sentence structure. Many lines begin with "The," which can become repetitive and predictable. Experimenting with different sentence structures could add interest and unpredictability to the poem.

Overall, by incorporating more specific and vivid imagery, showing rather than telling, developing the tension suggested in the final lines, and varying sentence structure, the poem could more effectively engage readers and convey its themes.
