I liked it. It was earnest, very direct and elegant, in a way unburdened by irony or modernism. The rhythm and structure were impeccable, and along with the staidness of the language, compounded to a work that reminds me a great deal of Frost. Excellent work
I liked the overall theme of the poem and the language used. Some great imagery in this one as well (I especially like the "turning bone in to dirt" line), I also enjoyed the rhyming structure. While it isn't the focal point of the poem imo, it's consistent and works quite well.
i couldn't really pick one i enjoyed a /lot/, but i really liked Ilvaldi's ending, so i'm voting for that.

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
I enjoyed both of the other poems, nearly equally. LN's use of repetition, which managed to make its presence felt without overpowering the poem, was the deciding factor.
This is nice and all, but I didn't actually vote. I'm sorry--I forgot. If I were to vote, I would've voted for Sweet Sounds by Ophidian Eye, honestly. As per the rules however, I should be DQ'd so LuckNorris is the real winner here. He's the poet the thread deserves, and I'm the one it doesn't need right now.
