I liked this Changes poem. I don't remark much on poetry, I'm just not strung that way. But this one struck a chord. Thanks

Subject: [stylist] Changes poem
Okay, I wrote Childhood’s End half my lifetime ago and I’ll admit it could use the work but here’s a today poem that I succeeded in writing with Bridget’s theme in mind.
The format will change, I know, but it technically has no breaks—meaning the poem is just one stanza. It’s really corny ... but here goes:
CHANGES
It was time to change
the boy
So I turned him to
a clock,
It was time to change
the time
So I turned him to
a sock,
It was time to change
clothes
So I turned him to
a tree
It was time to change
the season
So I turned him to
the sea,
It was time to change
the tide
So I turned him to
a bear,
It was time to change
the mood
So I turned him to
a chair,
It was time to change
furniture
So I turned him to
a breeze,
It was time to change
the weather
So I turned him to
a cheese,
It was time to change
the menu
So I turned him to
a roi,
It was time to change
rulers
So I turned him to
a boy.
