Good
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

Sorry to say this, but the work is not conforming to your own author's notes. "Houses" does not rhyme with "servants," and "slaves" doe not rhyme with "elegance." Also, "rice' and nights" are a forced rhyme as is "culture" and "nature." The rhymes are just too far off to qualify for the sonnet form you described.

    Thanks for your review and your suggestions. I don't always like to have exact rhymes, so I go with like sounding words much of the time. I think Rice and Nights and culture and nature are pretty close, or close enough. Maybe Shakespeare would roll over in his grave, but maybe not Yeats. estory
