3 Sonnets

Many thanks, Tracey

You certainly grasp theme and meaning in these pieces - which is v satisfying.
Yes, that last line in Profit and Loss has morphed several times! It's full of
pauses and parenthesis which are open to grammatical interpretation....And you're
quite right about the lapse of iambic rhythm in "Topiary".
I seldom adhere slavishly to the traditional sonnet rules
(much to the chagrin of purists!). Indeed, the "Carravagio" poem has a climactic
ending of sorts...it's a v emotive subject afterall...
