Many thanks to all who read and commented on this.
It wasn't my intention to mimic GMH, and so I avoided sprung rhythm.
Tim, interesting you should pick up on the treading generations. I believe GMH was echoing Keats (Nightingale).
Answering somebody's queries about publications, this has been in these:
Avatar Review
Candelabrum
The Sonnet at the Millennium (Open University, 2000, Anthology)
Susquehanna Quarterly
Poetry Scotland
(possibly others)
Best wishes,
David
