Charlemagne, Aftershock, Bird

(robt)

What a pleasure to see your name here again Mr Ward--even if I did goad you into reading the sonnets so I could argue with you about them! Come back--this place needs you.

As far as the voting, this New Yorker abstains--courteously.

A whole bunch of fine poems here. I like at least half a dozen of them well enough to consider them for number one, but my vote goes to Charlemagne's Vision.

My thanks to Tim for posting all these one one thread so we can agonize more easily. And for all the work he's done gathering and selecting these poems.

You said two days, Tim, am I too late? Hope not. Here are my choices:

Perfect Sonnet - wit, and particularly skilful wit, sways my judgement every time
Millay's child
Hardy
Charlemagne

Gosh that was difficult!
Joan

I've identified the author of each poem above.
