Is anyone good with analyzing sonnets?

Thanks so much for the help!
Karen, I am pretty sure I get the volta now. I guess I am just so used to voltas that present a dramatic change in tone so I kept overlooking it in this sonnet. Thanks for sorting things out for me.

Haha, that is a wonderful take on the poem, Richard!
I like it tons better than the original. :-D

It can be different. They main thing is that it is two 4 liners- as in ABBA ABBA - but it could also be a variation like ABAB etc. and then two 3 liners, as in CDC DCD but it could also be CDC CDC.
The one you have there is classic ABBA ABBA CDC DCD.

Thank you for confirming that for me. :-)


I turned my project(the nine questions) in today as I will be taking my free day tomorrow. My teacher was pleased with the work, so once again I give you all a huge thank you! I appreciate the help.
