Jayne, surely Julie Kane's sonnet does rhyme, in the traditional Shakespearean manner (though the three quatrains employ half-rhymes and consonant rhymes -- head/hand, street/poetry, enough/of, Kees/3, stained/since, flesh/press) and it finishes with a full rhyming couplet. And its volta is at L12, in the traditional Shakey fashion, with the revelation of who the book belonged to and the change of luck.
Julie, yes haha. Thing is, Owen didn't call it a 'double sonnet' or anything though did he? Just write the best poetry you can, is my view. I don't understand the wrestling over the soul of the sonnet from either end of the argument.
