Sam, you posted a passel of sonnets on the adjoining thread, which makes me want to ask you for some thoughts on the state of the sonnet. Fourteen-line poems seem to be hugely popular with 'Sphereans, who turn them out like a bunch of junior Willis Barnstones, with ever-more-baroque rhyme and stanza schemes. To my mind, most of these works are not sonnets. Whaddya think?

P.S. Loved the "Galatea" and agree with Peter that it's the strongest of your six.
