Slow Occurrence
I can hear the loud evil sound
As I fly high above the ground
I can feel the wet from the rain
As lighting permeates my brain
The fire from the pit begins to rise
I can see the lies lying in her eyes
A fire can start from just a spark
The fire has gone out in my heart
I try to run away from the life I led
I cannot outrun what is in my head
So I will lie down let the evil feed
Until there is no more left of me

The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
This poem, "Slow Occurrence," depicts a bleak and despairing mood, with the speaker overwhelmed by the negative sensations and emotions surrounding them. The use of vivid sensory details, such as the "loud evil sound" and the "wet from the rain," effectively convey the speaker's heightened state of awareness. The line, "I can see the lies lying in her eyes," is particularly striking, hinting at a personal betrayal or loss that has contributed to the speaker's despair.
However, some of the phrasing and imagery in the poem come across as somewhat clichéd, such as the reference to "the fire from the pit" and the line "A fire can start from just a spark." Additionally, the final line, "Until there is no more left of me," feels somewhat abrupt and unsatisfying as a conclusion.
One possible line edit could be to replace the phrase "the fire from the pit" with a more specific description, as this could help to ground the imagery in a more concrete reality. For example, "the flickering flames of hell" could be one option to consider. Additionally, the final line could be reworked to provide a more conclusive resolution to the poem's themes. A possible alternative could be: "Until the darkness takes me whole, and I am finally freed."

I enjoyed your poem, and I
I enjoyed your poem, and I think the AI got most of it right but it doesn't seem to understand rythm and rhyme very much and I also think it can't formulate poetry. So while it's good for some parts it doesn't always make sense.
A good poem with great rhyming of a heart felt subject.
Give and grow - let's raise our verses together. I'm happy to comment on your work and appreciate a comment on mine.

I liked...
the use of rhyme and near-rhyme, even though the AI thinks that some lines should be changed to make them smoother, the lines would not rhyme and it would destroy the integrity of them. ~ Geezer.
