I thought I would have a better chance of winning the Women's 400m Freestyle at the London Olympics, or Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes, than ever winning the Sonnet Bake-off at Eratosphere.
To those who voted for my sonnet, thank you so much, and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it! I want to comment on the poem itself, later, on its separate thread. I am travelling at the moment, so unable to spend much time at the computer.
To Sam Gwynn, who doesn't know me from a bar of soap, I am equally thrilled that you found a place for it in your top three. And to Cathy - you've been a wonderful host, and I've enjoyed your comments very much.
And finally, I want to thank all those men who made this sonnet possible. And most of all, the one in particular who was the inspiration at hand when this poem came tumbling out. He knows who he is, and he knows how dearly I love and value him. The man in the cold window has taught, and continues to teach me, so much.
Truly and "unruly",
Cally
