"My Papa's Waltz."

When reading this poem I focused my attention to imagery and also to sound. I noticed that it has a sort of classic rhyme scheme to it, where the end of the lines, on every other line, the words rhyme. The rhymes aren't always exact rhymes while some of the words just slightly rhyme with one another such as dizzy and easy. I also noticed how each section of the poem is like a different scene, at least thats how I imagined it. Each part of the poem is just one sentence each.
 I understand how the title of the poem relates to the poem itself. It essentially sounds like it is explaining a scenario, where a young boy is "waltzing" with his father. The father is drunk and this reflects as they go about the kitchen knocking over pots and such. The mother in the family seems to be disappointed maybe at the father, not just for knocking over the pans but maybe also the fact that he is drunk and playing with their child.
One other thing I noticed that may be nothing at all is that it seems to have a hint of violence. For on thing, the drunk man. Then the author uses phrases and words such as, "hung on like death" "the hand that held my wrist was battered at one knuckle" and "you beat time on my head." Maybe this is something subtle that the author added, to show that the father may be abusive.
