If you want a different Robert Service poem with a variety of characters whose voices you can use, imo the obvious one is Ballad of the Iceworm Cocktail.

With poetry you learn that the clever use of words can paint a picture in your head much larger than the few words you have read. Imagery is very important and word sounds that flow to keep your attention. The music of the words enhances their meaning. The thoughts are deep and thought provoking.
Does this help?

Well, I learn(ed) how to spell correctly and how important that is to the reader.

I learned that some poetry rhymes, some have definite stanza breaks; and that rhyme and rhythm together is pleasant to read.

I learned that changing sentences around so they read almost backward, adds interest and variety to poetry.

I learned that simple expression can sometimes be more touching than fancier, longer more stylishly written poems, but that all have a place in the realm of poetry as do critics.

I learned that there is a definite difference between childish writing and poetry that has a warm simple message.

It is true, we all die,
Mothers and fathers can appreciate;
the bliss of a child,
And the pain it brings as well,

It is true, we all cry,
When our children leave the house,
The happiness of the times before;
will bring the stinging back,

And still we go on,
And still life goes on,
For there is nothing better then a child;
one to call your own

Well, I hope that helped a little O.o

i don’t understand your question so i’ll tell you want i feel about poems
a poem reflects one’s feelings, desires & wishes
a poem is a story that you have to analyze closely in order to comprehend it’s purpose, because no matter what a poem reads it will ALWAYS have a purpose.
Poetry is pretty much words from the heart & sometimes are difficult to understand, as they can be easy
some poems seem like they can be about the most common things but every single person will take what it says in a different way

hope it goes well for you <3
