Congratulations, John and all.

It's also good to see some unfamiliar names and learn about more poets we might enjoy.

More congrats from me! I remember John Beaton's amazing poem 'Murmuration" only too well. It really stood out as something special on the Sphere earlier this year. I'm so glad for you, John, and all the other Spherean and non-Spherean winners! Also, thanks to Alex, the judges, organizers, and all. It is a lot of work.

Thanks, all, and congratulations to the other winners and finalists. Thanks also to Alex for running the contest and to the judges and other helpers.

My special thanks go to judge John Drury for his wonderfully insightful analysis of my poem.

I too look forward to reading the works that will be published as a result this competition.

Congratulations, John! I look forward to reading your poem. And congratulations to the other winners and finalists. It is always great to hear of new names to look for, and I think their presence among the winners shows that the reach of the contest is increasing, which is a good thing for formalists.

Thanks, David, Seree, Siham, Nemo, and Mary. I'm sorry for being so slow to acknowledge your posts. I haven't had much poetry time over the last few weeks-- here's hoping I can get back to it soon.
