Mammals

[Brownlie]

Hey guys. I originally posted this in the practice thread for sonnets. I don't generally write sonnets but I think it's important to have a grasp on as many forms as possible. I'm kinda bumping this to mild, not as much for crit on the poems content (as it's not my best), but more so I might be able to get an idea as to how I did with the form- meter, line breaks etc. Any form related observations would be helpful.
Thanks. 

I haven't looked at these things in awhile, but it looks like you've got a sort of Shakespearean thing with some possible near rhymes (hence the d and a halves).

Mammals 

 
I heard your prodigal pheromone song -a 
centuries before you whispered your name. -b
I was drunk on it, and danced to it long- a                                 
into night, long before dawn ever came— - b into night is a possible grammar hiccup thing.
cutting in, to connect us formally. - c
A peripheral glimpse dubbed you betrothed; - d
not consulting with eyes that normally - c
want; want to see potential brides unclothed - d
of mystery— want and need to know now. -e
But even if I close my eyes and nose -d and a half
and ears to shut your essence out somehow, -e
there’s something stuck in my stomach that knows: - d and a half
when we were just mammals, mingling mildly - f
in another life, you loved me wildly. - f

I think the language may be off in a few places like when you describe a pheromone as "prodigal," or when you say you close your nose.  I also think you may have managed to get a little of that poetic razzle dazzle type of thing with the ending as well. I think, in part, that is due to the rhyme scheme which makes the final "couplet" a useful tool. I suppose it's up to you to make sure that the ending is not cloying. Doesn't seem so bad to me, but I don't really look at these things all that often.
