Does My Sonnet Meet Standards? (just skim and tell me please XD)?

Strict sonnet form would require each line to be a pentameter (ten syllables) but your rhyme scheme is good, except reveal and worse. Taking it as a poem in its own right it has some excellent lines: 'A happy shame comes about as those leaflets are trampled in this war' and 'secret grace hidden beneath each changing cyclone'. There is no punctuation but I often write without full points or commas so that is just a matter of style. Overall an unusual work that should gain top marks if it came onto my desk.
