D"OH! You caught me.
Thanks for the compliments. I haven't fared well with poetry, but I do like this one. It was done for a writer's workshop class. The teacher was very critical, but the other students loved it. It was probably just a nice break from all the melodramatic, teen angst ridden poems that most of the other kids were churning out. (Hey it was the 90's. Grunge was in.)
I may eventually try my hand at children's stories. That might be an opportunity to do some more rhyming.
