Cute poem, and it’s a fun little story. Makes me think of something you’d see in a surrealist comic strip. Maybe it’s just the style of the poem. Either way, it works.

I love the rhythm in this piece; it conveys a great lighthearted tone. Just curious, did you switch gender in the second and fourth stanzas on purpose? Great poem.

MaddyRose: it was intentional from a previous idea that I scrapped and forgot to change. :)

I concur with the previous comments RE: the style, tone, and story of the poem. It kind of exudes an aura of either a parent telling a kid about it, or a kid recounting it himself/herself.
