Thanks for your comments Richard.
The poem is constrained by the formal format and the meter. I agree it is to some extent telling rather than showing. I find it almost impossible to rewrite short song like sonnets like this, change one line or phrase and you change the whole thing. I am into free verse mode at the moemnt, very liberating, although I don't write much these days.
