I can't ...Sorry to be late in commting, Sandy. I can't bring myself to worry about meter when I write sonnets. That's just beyond the pale. I'm not even certain that one should fret about a rhyme pattern, although arguably without a rhyme pattern the poem is simply a 14 line poem, not a sonnet. Arguably. Not sure I agree with that. You are WAY MORE OF A POET than I can ever dream of being, but with rhyme patterns I find the true fun in trying to hide them as deeply as possibly. And usually that means abandoning end rhyme altogether. Sounds like you trend that way anyway.
