Great rhyming and an interesting poem to read. I like your idea that your writing is like a cordial chat. There are some things posted on here, that I just skim through, wondering what in the world the message is that they are trying to project. I like poems that speak to my heart and mind.

Nice poem for the club entry. Yes, your style comes across as an easy chat despite the formal nature of the poem. In terms of editing, note the typo in the first line and in the fifth line. Well done.
