The rhyme salted almost randomly through the poem, the kind of erratic rhythm to the lines. The opening and, particularly, closing images are really good. Thanks.
I agree with Tzara about the rhyme. A bit of rhyme in free verse can be a nice touch. Beautiful poem. Very smartly written.
This is really subtle and affectionate. Your language is careful, and you have a nice sense of phrase and description. I'm impressed. I hope you post more work.
