The first and last (well, they're the same photo, right, only the last is in b&w?) are better because the they look less posed and have a very relaxed quality ...

*jumps up and down, waving hand in air* WALT WHITMAN, WALT WHITMAN! Though I'm ambivalent about a lot of his word, e.e. cummings has certainly influenced the way I think ...

It's really great that you're asking for advice on this. So often newer members are all, "I don't deserve these comments. My writing is good so SHUT UP." So congratulations ...

Oscar Wilde said, "All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling," and I like that quote. I feel it's rather suited to this discussion. It's also Oscar Wilde's birthday. Happy Birthday!

Yeah, it's called slant rhyme, and it is a gift from the heavens.

I do not put line breaks where I pause (unless the line breaks between sentences). That's what punctuation is for. See, when you read poetry aloud, you disregard the line ...
