Hi Mike,
Although there are fourteen lines here I'd heitate to call this a sonnet as
it appears to me to be in three parts as divided by the sentences.
Nevertheless, I think as Sally said that this number of lines is a neat
package and indeed contains a neat package in this piece. I like it very
much whever we choose to call the form and would simply say well done.
