A quick one for the best!

A three day contest for fifty of the best RHYMING poems.
So it's simple. Give me your best rhyming poem and I'll decide who wins (but may I remind you that everyone has different opinions, so if you don't win it doesn't mean that it's not good) I want the poem that you think is worth gold, the one that you absolutely love and you think has no flaws and has beautiful meaning.
I WANT THE BEST!!!! I love descriptive but not too descriptive. I don't want a ramble or when you use "big" words for the sake of it to me, that just symbolizes arrogance.

BUT, I do have some rules.....

1. Poem must rhyme! If it doesn't I'll remove it No forced rhyme, I just want it to melt upon seeing it, if you get what I'm saying.
2. Make sure it's your best!
3. No erotica or adult; I'm 13. I'd rather you not swear too much; it can really wreck a poem. And if it's under one of the "above 15" categories, I won't be able to read it, therefore it won't win so don't enter it.
4. Normal writing please
5. I really couldn't care who you are (Anonymous contest) so please don't tell me. Being too nice to the judge will not get you anywhere here. But if you have chocolate I'm all ears
6. I'm not really a fan of cutting but if you can do it with taste, go ahead.

Good luck and have fun people! Oh yeah, and I'll try and comment on everyone's but it depends on how lazy I'm feelin'
If I don't like it I might not comment. I'm just not all that good at saying that I don't like it
