"To keep the review thread clean..."

[Lyricalli]

Lots of good poems on the New Poems page, but the two that jump out at me are:

Lyricalli's The Sun Knows it's Hot, which as a sort of prelude to a desire driven bad decision, has more than enough heat of its own.

And whowrotethisshit's The Ghost, a vulnerable dead of night haunting which somehow manages to balance lonely, longing, and plaintive, with a playful turn at the end.

Thank you! No comment on the quality of the decision-making though


I quite liked your other recommendation, so thanks for sharing that one, too.

 

[Piscator]

There's a slew of New Poems and so I may have missed some of them, but these are the ones that didn't miss me.

Piscator's Ifquistion brought me in with the title's clever wordplay but he had me at Pascal's Wager. It's a darkly playful examination of human vulnerability and frailty around life's biggest questions which somehow reduces itself down to the calculus that goes into deciding on a tinder profile.

Senna Jawa's in the thin air is a short and sparse and beautiful piece that reminds me not to take front doors for granted, and that I hate the ignorance of a world where not everyone can.

Annaswirls' Donny's viral photos of wild horses is so smart and sharp that I forgot to breathe for a second or two. And that happened again each time I re-read it. I guess Donny is a better photographer than he is a sailor because he sure did miss the boat on Prom night.

Thanks LB for your comment - the play on the title was initially a typo but I'll gladly accept "clever."

I'll happily second your other selections and tod's selecton of your poem in the same page.

I soured on the awards years ago when I saw good writing lose to lesser writing because of alts and friends blowing up the voting. Still I think it's an honor to be nominated. But in truth the best award imho is a) creating the piece at all; and b) the feedback we get from our colleagues. Not that the gift cert is a bad thing!

I won in ancient times when the gift was a really nice black leather folder with Literotica stamped into the front of it. Very tasteful but I was still too chicken to use it at my real job.

Congrats!!!

Pretty cool that they used to do that.

It's always the issue with platforms like this that there will be alts, big groups of friends, etc, that determine the outcome of awards, polls, or anything similar. I'm definitely flattered that I somehow ended up on the list. It's nice to be noticed. Getting a few votes is also quite nice, since I have my own idea of which is the best of those on the nomination list. I very much appreciate anyone who took the time to read it and decide it was worthy of attention or a vote.
