What a cute ode to what I should have spent my spring break doing! :-) Way to break the traditional mold here and writing about a subject few people have dared to take on: chores. Your iambic pentameter is definitely there, but it's a bit forced in places.

Example: i CAN go OUT and PLAY with MY best FRIEND

This works--it's how we'd pronounce it!

But this: dusTING the CHANdeLIER can BE awkWARD.

Usually, we'd pronounce it DUSting and AWKward, but it's tough to fit words in like that, isn't it? A little fudging is allowed. ;-)
