Sonnets - 00001 - "Old Hands"

I've appreciated the rhythm of William Shakespear's sonnets ever since being compelled to memorize Sonnet 29 in high school. This is the first sonnet I ever wrote, and I'm pleased to offer it as a unique, special edition here on Mintalio. It was originally published on Steemit about four years ago, and you can see that publication reproduced on Hive here: https://hive.blog/poetry/@creatr/old-hands-a-sonnet-by-duncan-cary-palmer
