My November Vote Points: 6.9444 a non sequitur submitted by Terry Anctil on 2008-11-22 02:29:33 Points: 6.24996 From Exodus to the Edge submitted by Mark Steven Scheffer on 2008-11-11 18:48:28 Points: 5.55552 P O P C O R N submitted by Dellena Rovito on 2008-11-12 23:21:39 Points: 4.86108 My Birthday Wish submitted by Rene L Bennett on 2008-11-23 19:34:57 Points: 4.16664 River Breeze submitted by Duane J Jackson on 2008-11-08 01:00:39 Points: 3.4722 Can't Be Ripped Away submitted by DeniMari Z. on 2008-11-23 23:49:52 Points: 2.77776 Autumn Tambourines submitted by DeniMari Z. on 2008-11-04 00:04:25 I would place Autumn Tambourines higher but it is a second posting of submission. In this poem, DeniMari best demonstrates her potential and the title alone is poetry. Would that she would stay, but that is her choice to make. If she persists in leaving she will be missed. I've already praised Terry's poem, anymore would be less. Mark's poem is an easy choice, but I'm looking forward to voting for his first poem submitted in December. Dellena is settling into a style wonderfully folksy, in the fashion of the great American Humorists. Rene makes beautiful imagery in her own style, some might regard as more prose than poem. But imagery is imagery = poetry in my universe. Duane, as MSS notes, is not up to his usual mark with, River Breeze, but the imagery and interesting rhyme is still there. Again, I agree with MSS's regard for DeniMari's, Can't be Ripped Away. Regarding Patton's, Overlooked, in the context of the anti-intellectualism he has demonstrated to me, if venting that is the only way he can write something interesting...well that's a pity. My esteem to MSS for starting an even more progressed trend to our posting these voting disclosures by adding commentary on our choices. We're moving more and more to a society of poets than settling in to some redundant repetition of just another online mutual admiration society. Now THAT would be worthy of being "overlooked". |
