A Child's Poem

i have a personal soft spot for children's books by poets, which i think are a genre unto themselves. I feel that the rhyming this poem is really brilliant. The rhymes, for example, like shade and tree, or despair and fire and fire. Their really subtle rhyme. And there's also mind and wind closing the poemand they have that dickensonian slantness to them. Yes, they're little less slant there. There's somewhere between slanting and perfect, but they're beautiful and they're rich,. They create a kind of acoustic for this poem that is so accomplished and memorable.
