Girls like pink, or so I think, but I know a few boys that act all coy, if you ask them if they like pink. its only a colour right? Does it matter if they chatter? If you like it then wear it, they can all just bear it! you are the one that is wearing it! what is it to them, if you have a pink hem. you are still a man and you CAN wear pink, so just think!
I know a few purists on here who will explode that this isn't broken into predefined stanza's, but I like this. You have a great style. It is different from the norm. That gives it a power and edge I like. Terrifice work and very funny. You have a wonderful pace and flow. A well thought out structure and process. Terrific
I love this piece, my dear! Structure of a piece should only be in the eye of the beholder. After all your art is only for you and it is meant to give your soul nourishment, moreso than anyone else (although, it is nice when others appreciate your work.) Your message here sends confidence and support...well done! = ]
My goodness child, I used to be so enamoured with the colour pink as a young lass growing up in the Liverpool of yesteryear. You are correct, it is just a colour. However, old customs die hard, and sadly pink is still associated with femininity. In my younger days, a boy caught wearing pink would be harmed in the most brutal fashion.
The structure is just fine. If that's how she wants it, then that's how it should be. Who is Greg the Bard and what makes him such an expert? Forget the freaking structure and concentrate on the words and the meaning of the piece. Chill out and relax! Why be so pedantic about something that's not meant to be serious and is only for fun? People amaze me. There are too many self-proclaimed experts mooching around. My advise to "the Bard" is to worry about his own structure and leave everyone else alone! I don't recall her asking for advise on that particular aspect of her poem anyways.
Your structure leaves a lot to work with. Check this out.....

You ask them,
If they like pink?
It's only a color...right?
Does it matter if they chatter?
If you like it then wear it!
If you can bear it!

I am a happy go lucky girl from England, with Irish roots. I am hoping this website will help me grow as a poet. I have loved to write poetry since a small child. I don't care if it is considered goo.. more..
