Another fine group of sonnets. Thanks, Tim, for your annual efforts organizing this, and Len, for selecting and commenting on this year's group. (Tim, if you collected several years' worth of your bake-off here, I suspect you'd have a sonnet anthology that would rival anything else of its kind in print!)
My own personal favorites among so many good ones are "Catullus" (a classical allusion with completely contemporary bite and feeling), "Fire" (breezy, smart and seemingly effortless), and "Aftermath" (channeling Browning so well, as others have noted, that Browning himself would be jealous).
