Will someone critique my ballad stanza poem?

Question

I went to town to buy a book,
That's filled with poetry.
What I then got to my surprise,
A brand new book for free.

I met the author signing books,
I asked him for his name.
I found he autographed my book,
As one on here, the same.

I told him that I come on here,
To learn to write my rhymes.
I asked him if he was the one,
Who'd helped me several times.

I got my book and went back home.
And read his lovely words.
I really liked the one he wrote,
About the flying birds.


He explained to me about counting syllables and making words rhyme by organizing them into different order and not changing the meaning. He also explained many more things. I wish I could have talked longer.

He signed my books:

Huggles n Squeezles
Exit Dondi, stage right.

OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot to put that it was a dream.

I am soooo scatterbrained.

Answer 1

It's very sweet, and I think you have some decent ability to build on!

Answer 2

I guess it's my turn to be flattered. What a nice thing to say about me. That I would help you.. Wow, I'm touched.

Huggles n Squeezles.

Exit dondi, stage rear, singing jibberish cause he can't remember the words....
