It's nice to come across a poem that is just straightforward and not wrapped in flowery metaphors. I think, if you have the skill to rhyme and keep the flow even then you can just get on with telling the story as it is. Lovely write....my pleasure to read it.

Little typo I noticed....

She'd tell us of a oak tree

should be an oak tree :)

You did a grate job on this one 5/5
