Sonnet: Artists Comments

Thank you David for those lines that goad a poet's heart into a further period of inspiration. As you know, something formal and older is not much welcome in these modern times and so, I'm forced to strike a balance between the old and the new.Some of the variations are by compulsion.Rarely, they are 'by slip of the pen'.One has to be innovative and modify things in order to create variety in an area that is classical.

A very nice way to honor artists, Dr. Celes. I'm curious if your variations in the meter are intentional in certain places. Good to see some formal poetry amongst the ugliness of a post-modernist-heavy site.
