Really nice modern-sounding sonnet

You did it! Ok, so I didn't count syllables or check iambs, but it doesn't matter to me if it goes off here and there because it's a good poem. You've got a nice flow going in it, which works well to muffle that sing-songy quality sonnets sometimes have. And I love the title; you're good with titles! There's one typo (should be "artist's" I think, and maybe a comma after "mind"? You are good at the sonnet--you did a nice job of marrying your voice to the form. :-)

thanks Ange

I was reading sonnet after sonnet and I realized that even the masters did not stay on form all of the time, to do so almost feels unnatural to me. Thanks for reading, enjoying it as is and the Title? It is from Leonard Cohen... I lifted it. Leo told me it was a-ok.
