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.
The Poetry Running Contest puts good faith in its participants to act in an honorable manner.
Contestants, remember, you are required to vote (and you can't vote for yourself)!
Also, please leave a comment on this thread telling who you voted for as currently the polling system does not currently have the option to display that information.
Please Note, Voting Is To Be Done Via The Comments On The Thread. This Way We Can Track Who Has Voted, Foster Discussion, And Avoid Using The Currently Horrendous Poll System This Site Has.
I am laughing unreasonably hard at this. I can't contain myself. This is perhaps the greatest thing I've ever seen. I don't think anything has ever summed up what it's like to host the PRC so succinctly as accidentally listing the closure of a round of submissions as a poem. This is beautiful, it really is. Too meta. It helps that this is one of the more bizarre weeks, PRC wise. I'm still deliberating my votes, so I guess this is a placeholder for now, just to preserve this moment against edits.
EDIT: Vote for Ilvaldi and Ophidian Eye. I sorta liked both. Ilvaldi's more, certainly, but I'm willing to endorse the lighthearted goofiness of Ophidian's piece.
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
For me, Blippy's poem took the cake by far (where it sat across state/provincial lines and gorged itself). Navigating the syllables and sounds when reading his aloud was enjoyable, plus (assuming I understood the poem) the minimalism matched up well with what was happening in the poem.
I'm just a bit tired of constantly voting for you because I think your poem's the best, hehe. Don't worry about it.
