Metrical feet

This poem is one of the most interesting I’ve ever read. The first thing that caught my eye was that it almost has two different titles “metrical feet” and “lesson for a boy”. I think this is really significant because the poem does have a double meaning. It teaches the reader about metrical feet and it seems as though it is also a lesson for a young boy. The speaker is someone who cares about the child and his fond of him as hinted in lines 17 through 20. I also enjoyed the creativity with which the author used personification throughout the piece. I wonder if this piece really helped the kids it was written about and for or if they looked at it and rolled their eyes.
