Votes to Crusible and Minion of Boredom, I really loved the brevity
Honorable mentions to Ynysdyn and Blippy, loved both-
Super-duper triple-double apologies to Ynysdyn, whose poem I did not initally link in the thread. If either of the two votes cast before I linked it (ICM80 and Pork) would like to change their votes to reflect the inclusion of Ynysdyn's, I'll make a new poll thread- just say the word.
Crusible and Minion - Zelderex pretty much hit the nail on the head; the brevity is beautiful but both poems also have very choice closing lines. The ending to "Meditation Zero" is very visceral, an excellent choice of image, and "Tributary" ends on a deliciously haunting note. Well done to both.
And a shout-out to iCwalzy, who reminded me of one of my favorite readings: "I do not essay to sound Thy depths, O Lord, for I no way match my understanding to such an effort; but I do long in some sort to understand that truth of Thine which my heart believes and loves; for I seek not to understand that I may believe, but I believe that I may understand." - Anselm of Canterbury

I voted for iCwalzy and the man of eighty iced creams.
I liked the comforting feeling and brevity of Untitled. good stuff and gave me happy feelings and all that jazz.
5:5 was fun and I like how it flows from time to time. I like when reading a poem out loud adds to the enjoyment, this does that.
Good stuff all around.
