It's 11:40 and this came to mind. I thank a friend for this specific rhyme scheme. "God's Distrust". How is it?

Structurally,the stanzas of the poem follow the rhyme scheme of the Spenserian sonnet, but you have become more experimental and have written to the rhyme only rather than also adhering to the strict requirement of the form's lines of iambic pentameter. That is not so bad except that your meter bumps around quite a lot in places... just when I thought you were going to write in tetrameter instead, you diverged from that pattern, then you came back to it. Sir, that is not sound poetic practice; your piece becomes less musical when you do that. As for the content, it seems to be quasi-allegorical in that you are relating a personal trial in mock epic form; if I am reading you properly, you have been maligned not by the gods but by a mortal man who has great authority, the god of his own realm, and there has been much legal wrangling, and you have distanced yourself from this authority figure. I perhaps am reading too much into this since I know a young man in similar cirstances. Yes, he too was maligned, treated unfairly -- most unfairly -- but he has prevailed, older and wiser, with the battle scars to prove it. I consider him a friend, indeed almost a son. I hope you can be as strong, as noble, as he is, and remember never to give up, because you see, hope and courage always have the power to resurrect us, to restore our honor, our very lives...
