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

The poem "contrarians" explores themes of unreciprocated feelings and inconsistency in relationships. The use of contrasting attitudes towards attention and responsiveness creates a sense of frustration and longing. The poem effectively conveys the speaker's internal conflict and desire for validation.

One suggestion for improvement would be to further develop the imagery and sensory details to enhance the emotional impact of the poem. By incorporating vivid descriptions or metaphorical language, you can immerse the reader more deeply into the speaker's experience. Additionally, consider refining the structure and flow of the poem to create a more cohesive narrative that guides the reader through the speaker's journey of self-reflection and longing.

Very interesting, reminds me how my granddaughter used to be. She got over it, eventually, I think. Alex

Your language use is consistently appropriate for the matter,
and I think that most all of us have that natural wonder of
"Why don't they think I'm good-looking or what don't they like about me" ?
I guess it's a matter of how much we care what other people think of us.
The older you get, the more it becomes apparent, that not everyone you meet, is going to like who you are.
That goes for looks and ideas too. So? You don't like everything about anyone either, right?
I see that you have some knowledge of punctuation and are trying to use it to enhance your lines.
Good! I like this one almost as much as your first. ~ Geezer.
