I have seen it used elsewhere, but on a much longer poem where it definitely didn't work. But over fourteen lines it does. And over that short distance a rhyme is definitely remembered.
I came in a short while ago after sitting with my friend, Lennie, (a Groenendael), watching the sunset through the trees. - Christmas lights, rainbow delights, changing, changing oh so slightly yet irrevocably. Such beauty and wonder.
