>My first impression of "My Papa's Waltz" was that it was a cute poem. A young boy's memory of dancing with his father until bed. Like that is how his father put him to bed every night instead of most parents reading a story, the boy's father danced him to bed.
After reading the elements of peotry and how they go with the poem, the slant rhymes make the poem more interesting than just the normal rhyming. I also see the poem in a different way than I did when I first read it.
