Thanks AnnMarie

I'm thinking those lines could be separated from the rest actually, as they justify the 'borrowed' opening line, otherwise the opening line is just that - borrowed. I'm working on where I'll put in the break. My mum was an artist and made many beautiful things. Sadly, I keep them hidden away. But her silly ceramic frog, which she didn't even make!! is forever lolling on my bathroom counter - almost accusingly.

Thanks for the Guardian mention. I've always enjoyed writing sonnets, keeps me from becoming too - how did geoff put it? - self indulgent
