I love your sonnet, Leanne. The meter and content is all done so well that I can't see any need for improvement, and I don't see any cliches in the love theme. Could I nitpick? I'm still very curious, I apologize. This is a sonnet because of it's length, right? Fourteen lines that create a problem, with the solution in the last two lines, and a change in tone part-way through. The rhyme scheme can change or it can even be without rhymes and still be a sonnet.
So, if you changed the stress and meter, would it still be a sonnet? What if it was written in trochaic decameter? If someone writes a crown of sonnets, can the problem be presented in the first one, a tone change later, and then a solution all through the last one?
