Oh, doh!
I've been looking at the Tipsy Muse thread for nearly a week to see if anyone would congratulate John - and the thread was here all the time...
John, a superb sonnet and the worthy winner of the competition (mutter...must pay more next time...mutter).
Thanks to Gale for putting me second, which I still don't really believe - I even wondered whether it was good enough to enter. That is one advantage of an anonymous competition - only the Muse knows who you really are!
Congratulations also to Sam and Sharon.
Thanks Tom, and Bob for the kind words, and to Alex for putting up the remarkable prize of $2000 for second place. I'll send you my Swiss bank account number by courier.
