Rhina will give us her considered opinion Wednesday night or Thursday morning, but I'd be delighted to hear yours. For my part, I could not make so Solomonic a judgment among such strong contestants. Tried to and failed. The best I could do was divide them into two groups. Ten of these poems struck me as flawless. The other eight were merely very strong. So have at it, Spherians. Rest assured that your opinions won't sway our judge. Poets should also feel free to respond to the many good comments on the work. Here, for the record, are the poems and their authors:
