I like how the sun shines everyday
I like it when my friends and I play
I like my dog who is very nice
And I also like sucking on ice (lol)
I like to dance and sing with my friends
The happiness never ends!
Well sometimes I am very sad
And I am sometimes really mad
But I try to be happy most of the time
That's why I made this rhyme!

Hello Twilight Dog! Welcome to YWS.
Do you see how the second line feels like it's trailing off at the end? Now say "And I also like to suck on ice" instead. See how "sucking" has the accent on the first syllable, but "to suck" has the accent on the second syllable? It sounds better with the accent on the second syllable because of the rhythm you've created.So, ditto on everything Juniper said.
This poem doesn't have very good rhythm. I find it helpful to read my poems aloud. It usually sounds different aloud than it does in your head when you're writing it. Look for which words are accented when you speak out loud. Are they the words that would be accented in natural speaking? For example, say these lines out loud:
The last two lines were my favourite! I would change "That's" to "That is" to make the rhythm better.
Good luck!

Hey there! Juniper here!
The theme of this is happy (which makes me happy!) but, I think that you need to restructure this so that your ideas kind of flow together and connect!
So, I think this poem is a cute, creative start, but it's honestly easy to see that you are pushing the poem for rhyme and rhyme alone.

I think it's a cute start, definitely.
