I found it hard to follow and I did enjoy the 'irritated mien' comment but not being an expert in the more classical forms of poetry, I'll refrain from further comment.
little to add, except best of the day;score 100
More: irritated mien
Less: storm at sea
Poet Guy applauds the use of caesura to break up the normally steady dah-DAH dah-DAH da-DAH of the iambic line, and particularly likes the insertion of a feminine end-rhyme (flatter/matter) to mix up the sound of the poem. The use of the word "rhyme" seemed a bit forced to Poet Guy, but overall he found the sonnet pleasing, if not exceptional. Thanks.
