Love your final lines — — summing up and provoking thought — well done on so many levels. I so appreciate your working within a structure — One could go in several directions with that — but I mean soley with the sonnet, you find liberation in the restraint, use it so playfully. Me, I am a free-verse vagabond, but I see the craft and skill with which your pieces are wrought and the fineness of your weaving, color me the dusty lad watching with some combination of awe and wonder at the lady passing.
