Well, it's certainly smooth and clever, the twist-and-stretch of cliche are expertly handled, the comic timing impeccable, the diction sprightly. It takes more than that to get me really excited about a poem, however.

I'd like to see more descriptive language in some of these sonnets, rather than just clever psychological dissection and structural wit.
