Strangely, the first two stanzas work much better than the third. Aside from the slightly forced rhyme of "room" and "gloom" it flowed wonderfully and contained a lot of amusing descriptions. I especially liked the internal rhyme in L1 of S2. That third stanza, however, is clunky. Maybe it's because the previously established rhyme scheme changes so abruptly, or because the rhyme of "fear" and "seer" feels forced (though, actually, that could be another symptom of the scheme change). Anyway, critique is JMHO. Thank you for the read
