I kept expecting to be able to participate substantially in these conversations, but I never really managed it for a number of (generally benign) reasons. Still, I enjoyed the poems and discussions very much, particularly when they focused on the poems (but the what's a sonnet stuff was ok too...). So I want to say a hearty thanks to host, judges, and poets. I hope that in retrospect it will appear to all that a little testiness is inevitable and, anyway, part of the fun!
Particular thanks for mentioning my poem honorably (it's in iambic tetrameter, by the way...). That's a nice compliment in such distinguished company.
Finally, I'll apologize here for any past and future weirdnesses I post because of the wildly enthusiastic autocorrect on my iPad. On Tim Murphy's thread here, I used the words "unrewardingly" and "trimeter," which were converted before I spotted the error to "unrewarding lay" and "trimester"... Sorry.
