Fabulous Freddy

Poem Body

Intrusive, invading, impulsive
Through my dreams he crept
Tainted, taunted, tortured
By the secrets that he kept

Ripping, raiding, ravaged
Subconscious fantasies played
Motionless, mimicking, mindless
Through his claws, the scars he laid

Blood lust, bedfellows, begone
His stench lingered on my breast
Perverse, primal, pathetic
A tortured soul not laid to rest

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

The poem "Fabulous Freddy" demonstrates a strong command of alliteration, which adds a rhythmic quality to the piece. This technique is consistently applied in the first two lines of each stanza, creating a pattern that the reader can anticipate.

The poem also effectively uses vivid and emotive language to convey a sense of intrusion and torment. Words such as "ravaged", "scars", "claws", and "tortured" paint a clear picture of violence and distress.

However, the poem could benefit from more clarity in its narrative or theme. While the language is evocative, it's somewhat difficult to discern the exact situation or relationship being described. Is the poem about a nightmare, a toxic relationship, or something else entirely? Providing more context or specificity could help the reader connect more deeply with the poem's content.

Additionally, the poem's title, "Fabulous Freddy", seems somewhat at odds with the poem's dark and distressing content. If this contrast is intentional, it might be helpful to provide some indication of this within the poem itself to avoid potential confusion for the reader.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from more varied sentence structure. Most lines are composed of three words, which can become monotonous. Experimenting with different line lengths and structures could add more dynamism to the poem.

Hi, Carrie,
This has the eerie rhythm and flow much like an incantation. Very fitting for the subject matter!

Geezer

of this one.
It sounds like something a baaaaddd girl would say.
How about using "Through his claws, the scars he laid."
and " a tortured soul not laid to rest."

Just suggestions, I think it just makes the idea a bit clearer. ~ Geez.
