Continuing the project, this sonnet for Iazzie.
The glint of winter’s sun upon his helm,
He stands in silhouette against the sky,

I took my cue from the sonnets of Aislinge and Alexander for the stylistic theme of this one. A recipe, a blazon, and now a pattern for Seigneur Yves de Fortanier.
A tailor, tasked with patterning a man,
