Question, everybody:

Shall we open for voting now?

I originally allowed for two weeks before voting, so that people would have plenty of time to read all the entries at their leisure. I don't think two weeks is necessary. And it might be better to keep things going.

But I don't like pulling the rug out from people.

I'm guessing it'll be okay, but I'd love to hear it from you. Thanks.

Let's do this again sometime.

I would have loved to have participated, but I had too many deadlines as it is this month.

Good luck everyone!

Yeppers! I reviewed the entries last night & I'm pretty confident in my selections - but maybe another stab at the eyes might be on the menu. How about a few more days?? Sunday night?

We're voting on the reviews, not the poems...

The reviews are up now, so you can see who liked which ones...

Okay, I'll open voting now.

How to Vote
After voting is open, send me your vote. Do it before the end date.

Vote for your top three favorites, in order. Votes *must* list three entries to be counted.

In the subject line of your private message, type VOTE: Poetry Review Contest.

In the body of the message, include three votes in order, from first to third. List both the entry number and the title. For example:

6) The Fount of Cosmic Sands [first-place]
2) Entry #2 [second-place]
11) Iamb What Iamb [third-place]

OK! As I've mentioned before, I am surely inclined to sacrifice the good of the one for the good of the many, thus, I have voted; it's the middle of the middle but no matter, The Games A Foot!! Vote now!


When does the other shoe drop ??
Vote

but only once!!

I'll Grant you that & raise you a Filmore, but still, I fear voter apathy. Ya know?
