Well, it has 14 lines.
I'm not sure, TqB. I read on Wikipedia that Diane Seuss is an 'educator', so this relaxed approach to writing sonnets just seems rather calculated, somehow. Do you ever get the impression poetry is selected for publication based on its potential impact rather than its merit? (Will it get people talking? Will it get the New Formalists a bit wound up?) Well, I dare say I'm a cynical old thing. I don't dislike the poem you've posted, but I think I'd find it more appealing as free verse. And even then, I prefer a lot of the stuff I've read on PigPen.
