My Feb 2012 vote

Following MSS's lead, here's my vote. The main reason I'm posting this is because I've got so much voting weight this month...it can't be a bad thing for people to know how I'm using it.

February 2012 was a great month here so much so I wasn't able to read and critique all posts accordingly. It takes time and thought to read through them all and give them the best critique as perceived by each reader. MSS, Lora, Dellena, Cheyenne, JC, Tony, Ellen, others along with yourself made it very good month here. Very happy to see Rachael post for March - it's almost like a reunion and a good one at that. blessings, Deni

MAH, I'll trespass where I have every right to: your rankings of my poems. Vortex? Watch it I don't stir one up and send it your way. :) I understand you had very good company: JCH. But I'm disappointed, or rather oddly bemused. Perhaps I know nothing, but if getting the sound in one's head and the pulse in one's veins down in the best possible form, and having something of universal meaning to say to boot, is the definition of successful poetry (and I think it is), then I'll be damned if i could have done much better than "i woke up and read keats" or "Time Travel." In the future I'll just get drunk, stand on my hand, and spit out "Parking Tickets." On the other hand (smile) . . . This place is a ton of fun when we take it seriously; lay it all out on the table (publish our selections); vote like it matters eternally (though of course it doesn't); and stand tall. Thou are my brother in that, and it's wonderful to be back to back with thee. MSS

Noble practice, this disclosure. That is,presuming the favor is returned. However, some people cannot be shamed into being fair and just. So I am not going to be hidebound to it. But I respect the idea. JCH
