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

The poem "Secrets" effectively uses a narrative style, which allows the reader to follow a story throughout the verses. The use of rhyme and rhythm is consistent, which gives the poem a pleasing flow.

However, the poem could benefit from more specific imagery and sensory details. For example, instead of saying "a passing glance, a pretty face," the poem could describe the color of the eyes in the glance or a distinctive feature of the face. This would make the poem more vivid and engaging for the reader.

The poem also tends to tell rather than show the emotions of the characters. Instead of stating "Alone in the darkness they still cross each other’s mind," the poem could show this through a metaphor or a specific action that conveys longing or regret.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from more varied sentence structure. Most lines start with a subject followed by a verb, which can become monotonous. Experimenting with different sentence structures could make the poem more dynamic and interesting.

Overall, the poem has a strong narrative and consistent rhythm, but could be improved with more specific imagery, showing rather than telling emotions, and varied sentence structure.
