My first time here was very cool
The kindness here did make me drool
My muse released its every tool
Showing you all I am a fool
I used to belong to another site
Politics took over which wasn’t right
I would not stay; I would not fight
I landed here one summer’s night
I like the different topics you see
Some fit you and some fit me
There’s always a great variety
And if you choose, this site is free
Saying it’s forced I like the least
As it brings out my poetic beast
I want to make that critic feast
On silly things like greens and yeast

I like how you have formed every line in each stanza to rhyme with each other, and do it well. I don't think I have ever read any poems, professionally written/published in a book or not, that did that as well as you have. My favorite part was really,
"As it brings out my poetic beast
I want to make that critic feast
On silly things like greens and yeast."
It's extremely funny, and it has a certain quality about it that I like (I don't know what that quality is).
