The Sun Has Set Slowly, But Fully Now (sonnet number two)

[Snowbells]

Alatos,
in your sonnet I noticed the absence of consistent meter/feet. I would recommend to any aspiring sonnet writer to study the sonnets of the masters, just to get the idea. I think most English language sonnets are written in iambic pentameter. You do have the abab rhyming pattern correct except for the near-rhymed couplet. In general, even contemporary sonnets should resemble the traditional forms. Regards,
Jerry
