we only do hoenst here
the meter is flawed

Ouch! go easy!

are you going for iambic?
if not, some of the trochees work and some don't
I was aiming for iambic, but worry that my ears are inverted. Are the trochees predominate through-out?

not sure if there's a clear deliniation between the question and answer the sonnet form requires.
it's a good effort though.
Yes, I was just reading that sonnet practice thread in the practice section, and see that this sonnet doesn't quite meet the required form. I will reorder it, I think, and keep trying for iambs.

Thanks for the critique, billy.
