I don't write poetry that often but I will avoid using them in the future. Thank you for commenting, I fixed the spelling mistake and apologize for the clichés.

I mean no ill-will by doing so, just that I like the sound of your poem but stayed with these thoughts that I communicate to you here. The opening line hooked me. It is simple and natural and evokes a certain pleasant feeling. In the second line you use "stick out like a sore thumb" which I find unfresh and over-used. It killed the initial euphoria I had upon entering the poem. Then I was intrigued again: "How did it end up in the middle of the field, Hidden from the machine’s blades — it remains concealed." I wanted to know. Everything went well for me... I didn't even notice the end-rhymes. Then the last line used a cliché: "in dire straights", and misspelt, too (in dire straits is the right spelling). I love the way you approached and told this poem (otherwise I wouldn't have stayed to comment). I mean no harm. Just thoughts I had on reading your work.
