Hello again,

firstly kudos for producing such a shining example of the sonnet form. Having written well over 700 poems I've only tried a sonnet once, didn't like it and tore it up. Much harder than it looks. Bit tricky to really emphasise enjambment when working with such a precise rhyme scheme but you carry this off well adding pace to the poem and softening some of the rhyme words to make the rhythm feel more natural. The enjambment gives a sense of a stream of consciousness which really fits the introspective subject matter.

Dark is certainly a genre which you excel in as proven here as with many of your poems; yet it doesn't define you or your work which is all for the good. You have established a wonderful, diverse body of work you should be very proud of.

Back to the poem in hand, you show great choice of rhyme words. I love 'smudge / sludge'. Also really like the internal rhyme of 'nerve / verve'.

You use colour to great effect throughout the poem and this makes the final rhyming couplet all the more poignant. A devastatingly effective ending to a really great poem.

I think anyone who's ever found themselves under the cloud of melancholia / depression will relate to the subject of this. I know I can.


Love,
Mark ~~
