A sonnet; My heart's sacred ground c/c?

Likewise, I didn't pay attention to rhymes and measures. The message was nice and nourishing reflective of the poet's goodness and view of life, but the flow should be checked. It is oftentimes times better to stick with iambs - stressed followed by unstressed (all of the lines started with unstressed syllables such as "I've sailed" of L1 which is a perfect iamb with the stress falling on "sailed") because the English language is more naturally iambic than anything else. IMHO.
