I wrote "Coming to Terms". But I thought you all knew that, since Maryann gave it away in her wry comment the day it was posted.
Thanks, John for listing it in your top three. I'm happy it made your list of personal favorites.
Thanks to those who voted for this "woman's poem" (though the tragedy of a miscarriage is also experienced by the father), in spite of its being a sonnet
.
Congratulations to all the finalists as well as all those who participated, in effect making the event "happen"; to the readers and those who chose to comment; and above all, to John for all the hard work that hosting an Eratosphere event entails.
Best wishes for the holidays!
