Good story. Tighten the form

You tell a good story in verse form, but you may be using enjambment too much for the sonnet form and a couple of the stresses don't seem quite right at lines 2 and 10. Not sure if you write the verse stanza by stanza and then add the enjambments or take a deep breath and plunge in - I suspect the latter - you might benefit from slowing down and reviewing more thoroughly. You might also strengthen the caesuras - for instance: the first fire didn't add value, until you gave it retrospective context with the second. S.O.
