The first ten lines are pretty acceptably sonnet-like; the remaining four lose one foot in each line -- line 11 is four feet, line 12 is three feet, line 13 is two feet, and line 14 is one foot -- deliberately, as part of the point of the poem. I *think* it works; I don't know.
Are there other poems that take a form like a sonnet and then twisted it to make a particular thematic point?
