Huitain

I am experimenting with different styles. This one is a Huitain
It is really bad, even though it follows the rules of the style.

I have been writing since a girl.

Without form, training or even rhyme,

But NaPo says give it a whirl.

It is not easy and takes some time.

Do I write of trees, blood, a mime?

Wading in, I give it my best.

My attempt is far from sublime.

Tell me crits, do I pass the test?
