Thank you for commenting Ferris Ty Taylor. ?
I suppose it is one of the many mysteries and mystiques of poetry
Sometimes it seems more true when it rhymes
Sometimes it seems more true when it doesn't rhyme
(And then there's half-rhymes)

Though I couldn't judge it at the time, I think this poem had a lot of schematic confidence and maturity for an early poem.

You subvert my expectation of a rhyme to allow for starker truths

Save for a wooden stare
shows that inside troubled waters
drowning had been not far away.
