I found the odd rhyming scheme a little disconcerting but the whole piece had some charm.
PS Line 7 should be its without an apostrophe.

Potbelly rather than send me huge private messages attempting to tell me what some old man insists is how poetry is written may I suggest the following.
1) Make such communications readable rather than the confused skipping match you presented.
2) Keep your comments for the comments section (here)
3) Don\'t try to teach me in private what is and is not poetry. If you have a criticism or comments upon my work then use the comments section provided.
4) Learn to take criticism. Here your piece has been commented upon by a few poets who publish on MPS. All seem to be making the same points. I assume that you are not so thick headed as to ignore these.
5) Poetry as a facet of language and literature is a fluid and ever changing thing. What somebody in your past considers to be correct is a thing of the past. MPS is a thing of today. Byron and Keats, though each have their beauty, are in the past. MPS is of today.

I\'m not sure who is the most confused here, you or your readers.

So I don\'t know why the 12th and 14th verse came out further behind all the others, but....do what you wish, my poetic side.

Love the way you\'ve chosen to present this \'conversational verse\'.
Light, witty and prosaic.
