My gal Ally!

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet’s AI:

The poem presents a narrative of longing and devotion, structured in short stanzas that create a sense of movement and urgency. The setting is established with imagery of darkness and rain, which effectively conveys a mood of isolation and determination. The phrase "the alley's are / pitch black" contains a grammatical error; "alley’s" should be "alleys" to indicate the plural rather than the possessive form.

The transition from the external journey ("down the street, / dark rain is / falling fast!") to the internal motivation ("My heart is set / on finding you") is clear, but the connection between the physical setting and the emotional stakes could be deepened. The metaphor comparing the beloved's soul to an orchid is evocative, though the subsequent line "I'll water it, / don't you fret!" risks being overly literal and could benefit from more subtlety or development.

The final stanza shifts to a more intimate and sensual tone, which is a significant change from the earlier mood. The line breaks and punctuation, particularly the use of a comma after "when we're," disrupt the flow and may cause confusion. Consider revising the lineation and punctuation for clarity and rhythm.

Overall, the poem's narrative arc is clear, but the language could be refined for grammatical accuracy and greater emotional resonance. Further attention to imagery and consistency of tone would strengthen the piece.

Our first real love. Nothing like it. I wrote something that you might recognize yourself or me in. 

It's called "What We Did That Summer". The style that you wrote in, subtly reminds me of a Japanese-type poetry or a Haiku. Depending on how you want to go with this, you might either try embellishing it and becoming more descriptive and poetic, or down the Haiku trail. If you want to go with the Haiku, you should read a bunch of it online and try to write a few. Simple, natural things are the best kind for me. Anyway, I like what I see. ~ Geez.

I really like what you have written here.It is so good to see you surrounded by happiness! I am glad you have found "the one." it makes everything alright! 

very fondly, Cat

If you knew how many times I have fallen in love with untouchables that I was hands away from but got to know them well enough for those feelings to come up, you would say 'wow! Life can be wonderful!' The first is most difficult to let go but ya never really lose her😉👌

The imagery is very good in the first two stanzas.  I can see the alley.  My favorite stanza, though, is the last.  It hints at what I believe a lasting love is: Taking care of the other after the passion burns away.  I was fortunate to have married my one true love.
