I'm not a fan of couplets, and in this case I think they make your poem sound like a Dr. Seuss rhyme. I think you have a sense of building to a climax three times, and you do that well. The problem is, again, that I think the form is preventing you from using richer, more meaningful words and arrangements to express yourself. mbonica@yahoo.com
