Yves,

I am not sure if you meant that rhetorically none the less I shall elaborate. Many a poem can satisfy the dictates of metre but a finer ear is needed for the music and you have put music into this sonnet over and above any other accomplishment here.

Often the music lies in the accent, dialect or even the mother tongue of the writer and flows through usage into the words on the page. Of course it also depends on the earwitness. Globally, we are often divided by our common tongue.

Regards,

Jan
