that said the flow of the poem doesn't, it feels jerky, which boils down to intermittent meter change
on each line. the couplets as a whole (apart from the first and possibly the 4th) feel weak and full of cliché.
for me the poem needs a strong edit to leave only the barest of what you have.
please forgive me if the feedback offends, that is never my intention.
thanks for the read jim
