In your first three stanzas your rhyme scheme is AABC, but in your final one it completely throws that out the window. Personally, if I'm writing a poem I like it to follow a pattern the entire way. Other than that not bad. Perhaps try and adjust the wording in any sentences that you feel you could do better?

  • Good catch, you're the first one to point that out. However, that was intentional. Sometimes for a concluding stanza I use an alternate or irregular rhyme scheme, or I interject it in a different place if I feel the order needs a disruption. But I may toy around with the ending, see what I can do. Thanks for the advice.

  • By changing the rhyme scheme of the final stanza you interrupt the thought process of the reader. Subconsciously (or perhaps for some they realize immediately) it drives the meaning of the words home. Had not realized this before. Interesting.
