I have some extra points, and I am bored (and also thinking up creative ways to avoid writing an essay). Thus: send me your best stuff. I will try to comment on each poem, and will base my final decision on a combination of poetical merit and skill and personal preference. Please do not use author's notes to explain your poem to me. I will read all author's notes, but I will ignore anything that attempts to do what the poem itself should have already done.

may we enter more than one?

I've limited entrants to one poem for two reasons. 1.) I want to force poets to think about which poem is their best (and perhaps learn something about themselves in doing so), and 2.)I want to be able to read all poems thoroughly and still judge the contest quickly. Sorry about that, maybe next time.
