Vote for the poem(s) you feel is the best (up to two). Remember to adhere to the "Honor Code" when voting.
While it is understood there is no absolute means to monitor the intent of a vote, we ask each PRC participant to exercise integrity when voting out of respect for the contest:
- Please give each poetry submission an equal opportunity in attaining your vote.
- Please read, or at least skim, all the entries before voting.
- Please do not vote for your friends just because they're your friends.

Happy voting!
*Interested new participants should submit their poems here.
Blippy's was the stand out to me, but that comes from my fear of dementia and Alzheimer's. The poem itself may have simply been about the fuzziness of life from the perspective of an older person, but I couldn't help but extrapolate my own fears onto it.
Crusible's poem was my other choice, simply because I like the structure of the poem; the mechanic of reading it was fun.
I voted for the Blip-man and Talorasaurus. They seemed to deliver the awesomeness I'm looking for!
I really wanted to like "Online" more, it left some awesome images in my head but the form of the poem put me off some, so it's the runner up for me.
I fell like I don't know enough to enjoy "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu", It did seem cool though.

It was just a small jest about the PRC starting Wednesday my time. I write my poems stream of consciousness. I never have an idea before clicking on the thread.
English is not my first language, which really helps evaluating poems - in a way. For example, 'There Goes another Brain Cell' is both straightforward and full of imagery, delivering on both fronts. For my second vote I went with 'Your scabs are peeling', which also shares those characteristics, though it's a little more metaphorical.

Wizards can start putting booster packs inside dog poo and dog owners will still complain.
I voted (too late but here they are anyways) for There goes another brain cell, I thought the flow to it was nice
I also voted for Onion - Preve got me with his excellent lyrical work
All good though this week
