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

The poem "Beware the Platform of Bigots" presents a strong critique of individuals who spread negativity and harm through their words. The use of vivid, visceral imagery, such as "Spiteful barbs shot day to day" and "The blood to seep from weeping cracks," effectively conveys the emotional and psychological damage caused by such individuals.

However, the poem could benefit from a clearer structure and more varied rhythm. The current structure, while consistent, is somewhat monotonous and could be diversified to create a more engaging reading experience.

Additionally, the poem's message could be more nuanced. It currently presents a very black-and-white view of the world, with "bigots" causing harm and "victims" suffering. Introducing more complexity into this dynamic could make the poem more thought-provoking and relatable.

Lastly, the poem's language could be more precise. Phrases like "worthless voice, words unkind" and "evil creatures, empty souls" are somewhat vague and could be replaced with more specific descriptions or examples. This would make the poem's critique more concrete and powerful.

Overall, the poem's strong imagery and clear message are its main strengths. By improving its structure, nuance, and language precision, it could become even more impactful.

This poem has such a musical quality and I appreciate the way you’re able to make verse sound so song like. I’ve been a fan of all the poetry I’ve read from you so far, this one included!

I grew up with these people who were "Good Christians!" and ridiculed and cut to ribbons with their terrible gossips right on the church steps. in my home, I was the scape goat for their crap. It got worse year after year after my Dad left. I do not know how these people can be so full of hate and spite, and be able to live with themselves! They must be so unhappy inside. this is a great poem flushing them out. These are my favorite lines of this poem:

The flesh from off a victim's back
The blood to seep from weeping cracks.
Poor creatures bowed by heartless scum
Who leave their deadened bodies numb.

Self aggrandizing liars they
Must justify their lives each day;
Malicious every key they strike
To shoot dark arrows through the night.

I enjoyed this poem!! The rhymes were very creative, and I believe it is an important topic to talk about- the bigotry in our world. Thank you for sharing!

Hello Alex.

While it has been many years since I have been across the pond, I'm guessing things in your world are much the same as in mine. People that actually think we give a damn about their B.S. and especially those that make up their own facts to justify their narrow selves. I rant, sorry.

Thanks for an enjoyable poem. - Will
