Sonnet bakeoff finalists
 

BAKEOFF FINALISTS
Putting the grass out where the goats can get it, as the politicians say.

I will start posting the bakeoff finalists tomorrow, on this thread, at the usual rate of 2 per day for 6 days. Comments by Distinguished Guest Tim Murphy will be added shortly. After all sonnets are entered and time allowed for your comments, there will be 3 days of voting to establish your favorites.

As is always the case, judging was a challenge and there were a number of sonnets that it was very hard to let go. Therefore, when the authors are revealed after the voting, I will also name two honorable mentions.

Stay tuned to this thread as we enter Sonnet Bakeoff 2012!

Thanks for all your hard work, Gail! (We can assume that "this thread" really means the one up on the Distinguished Guest board, right?)

Right, Maryann - I'm just trying to spread the word.
