You do yourself down - I envy your ability to write sonnets - I write passable sestinas, even an (albeit odd) pantoum - enjoyable challanges, but despite reading the bard and modern sonnets iambic pentameters being the rhythm of 'natural speech' has rendered me speechless. I stare at the page until my forehead bleeds. Love your work James. All hail!

Thanks Penny. I think it’s important not to take ourselves too seriously. I wouldn’t even dare contemplate a sestina.
