Wow!!
Haven't had a thrill like this with any of the other sonnets this time around. As for a couple of minor awkwardnesses, they're gone when read aloud--all except for "two-by-two mute marches," which I would work on for a while. Should be "mute two-by-two marches," but that of course is even worse. Ok, rewrite time imo.
Love the wit of "Stalag Kent," the general sense of a satire on The Victorian Childhood.
Now I need to see if anyone has given away the poet.
