I was playing with the idea of having the narrator POV being active duty or a veteran. Which might lend itself to a better tone shift at the end. Thanks for pointing out my terrible spelling error.
I do feel like the tone is flat, the intent was to create like a tone of predicability. You've obviously seen this type of reel before. Then have the shift being at the end creating a barrier between two tones. I also feel like the arc could be alot better and more emotional / personal. The goal of the poem is how AI monopolizes emotional content in a formulaic presentation / ideally adding a little humor at the end.
As far declarative language, where my train my thought is coming from is being taught
-use less words -condense ideas
Writing has been difficult to me lately so I'm trying my best to sketch out these ideas bare minimum as a jumping point to work on. Trying to stay creative and get the thought out before its gone. Maybe next time I write I'll make syntax variation an emphasis and break more rules. Thanks for the feedback
e.g.
A soldier squats, her eyes gleam
hands land gently
on her knees.
In the camera's reflection shine
her tears...
