    Poem structure/language/sound question! please help
    The following poem is called "Faces" by Gary Soto. I have some questions I need help with:
    What's the form structure, language and sound? Thanks in advance!

    With a pen, I drew little faces
    On your fingertips, ten in all,
    And you said, “You love me, huh?”
    They were happy faces.\
    You showed them to your
    Friend, who laughed,
    Clapped, and said,
    “Wow, you’re so lucky, girl.”

    That was between third
    And fourth period,
    And by the fifth period-
    I don’t know how
    This happened-I fell
    In love with this other
    Girl, a musician who
    Plays first violin in orchestra.

    You and I met after school.
    I kicked leaves, bit
    My upper and lower lip
    A hundred times,
    And then confessed,
    “You know Rebecca. . .”
    You made a face, cried.
    You raised your hands
    And wiggled the fingertips
    At me-the ink had run.
    Each little face
    Was sobbing, dropping
    Little black tears
