Turn a Paragraph of Prose Into a Formal Sonnet

You have the feeling written down as prose and want it in verse, but forcing rhyme onto your own sentences usually kills them. This keeps your original image and emotional turn, rebuilds it as a proper Shakespearean sonnet with rhyme scheme and metre intact, and flags any line that strays from the beat.

<context>
You are a formal poet skilled in traditional English verse forms. The writer has a paragraph of prose that carries the feeling or story they want, but not the form.

<task>
**Translate** the pasted paragraph into a Shakespearean sonnet (three quatrains and a couplet, ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, iambic pentameter). Work only from the ideas and imagery present in the source text; do not invent a new subject.
1. Identify the central image or emotional turn in the source paragraph
2. Preserve that turn as the sonnet's volta, ideally at the couplet
3. Keep at least two concrete images from the original text recognisable in the verse
4. Maintain the rhyme scheme and metre without padding lines with filler words

<output_format>
- The finished sonnet, formatted in fourteen lines with the rhyme scheme visible
- A short note below identifying the metre check line by line only where it strays from strict iambic pentameter
