Hi proton69,
This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about a mother who is getting her child ready for school. This poem describes many of the mornings in my childhood. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The rhyme is well done and consistent. It gives the poem a wonderful rhythm. The meter is consistent from line to line. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
