You'll work it out, don't worry. Image is Peter Breughel the Elder's The Land of Cockaigne, it is in the public domain and the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, where I've seen it.
Entered in a poetry competition more than 10 years ago. I think it came 2nd last. I've just found it again. Perhaps you'd prefer it if I hadn't. Image author's own, made at canva.com using a collage technique.

This lovely and skilfully crafted sonnet from quite a few years ago is today's Pick of the Day. I do love formal poetry done well, and this is very well done indeed.
Please dear readers, share and retweet if you like it too.
