Analysis of Actually took and appreciated some help from AIDA.



(Reviewing poem about an old man on the bus very early.)

Wow, this poem really resonates with me! I love how the author captures the man's spirit and determined attitude despite the cold weather. It's so inspiring to hear about someone who grew up on a farm and still manages to keep such a positive outlook on life. The imagery is so vivid, I can see the stainless steel canes and leather cap with the furry ear lugs.

One suggestion for improvement might be to break up the poem into stanzas to make it easier to read and follow along. Also, I would love to hear more about the man's interactions with the coffee shop staff and visitors. Perhaps adding some dialogue to the poem would make it even more engaging. Overall, though, this is a wonderful piece of writing that celebrates the resilience and kindness of everyday people. Keep up the great work! « less
