1. Passenger (favorite by a wide margin)

2. Iamb (solid second, ahead of the next two)

3. Postcard (but I also liked...)

HM: Hoarder (which like Postcard stood out from the pack for me)

Thanks to all who created this event, especially the TSDG. It wasn't easy, but I made time to read all threads often and participate in each, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't care much for a number of the entries in the first half, but it was rewarding to try to see them through the TSDG's eyes.

Cheers.

1. The Iamb
2. The Hoarder
3. A Passenger

Congratulations to all!
Will we get to read the 10 honorable mentions?
I struggled between choosing Streetlight and A Passenger. If it weren't for the last two lines in Streetlight it would've been a favorite of mine (still is ...)

I see that I am perfectly aligned with Rick this time around. These two stood out for me. Congratulations to all and thanks for another fascinating look at the sonnet.

1. Snow Blind

2. Streetlight

3. The Passenger

(Better write up some comments on why The Iamb was an excellent sonnet, but I'm fully convinced that it was.)

Thanks to Alex and the DG for all their good work!

1. The Iamb
2. A Passenger
3. Bed

Both "Snow Blind" and "The Hoarder" came very close to being in the top three for me.

1. Hoarder
2. Postcard

#3 was sort of a toss-up between Passenger and Bed
