I had to google "enjamb". I didn't know that was even really an option with sonnet forms; I just assumed each line had to complete a thought. I'll definitely play around with it in some future poems. As far as putting it here...I'd have to re-write the whole damn thing. Too much work lol
I think I'm starting to see what people mean by "wordy". It's hard for me to keep strict iambic pentameter without a lot of "of, the, at, to, etc." But the more classical sonnets I read, the more I realize that almost none have perfect iambic pentameter...so maybe I haz some wiggle room.
Cliché...sigh...I'll work on it.
Ozymandias was really cool (thank God for spark notes)!
Thanks, everyone. I think this'll shape up to be my best yet.
