OK, so the time for judging is here! Phew, this has been such a difficult task, they are all really good poems and you've made it hard for me to choose. But there has to be a winner. First a word...

newspapers sell fear
a smidgeon of gossip, and
women with big boobs!

We were Strangers

We were strangers once.
Unknown faces in a swelling
human sea.
We moved with the rush of
the tide; flotsam and jetsam
floating aimlessly amongst
the crowds.
A sudden eddy...

Too many syllables Pen!

'Fun house'
the sign declared.
I wonder what's so fun
about it? Turn around and walk

Star Wars?

Ooh, Mr Hyde was much more interesting!

Dracula or Frankenstein?

It's a brave poem Pen, and beautifully done. I hope you share it with your wife, 'cos she's the one who needs to read it.

One of my own:

Zombie
sitting at my
desk. Is it me or an
imposter in my clothes, drinking
my tea?

A few more from me:

I am the person at the end of the queue

I am the browning...

flying
not falling, through
space the colour of ice,
the consistency of water.
Soaring.

love me even more
give me everything I want
devour your soul

Oh, I feel for you motherhubbard. Definitely not a lesson to learn the hard way!

you're welcome. It is a lovely name :)

We wait,
but know not what

Of time
expect nothing
but a line, a passage
from then, to now, to an unknown
future

playing grownups fun
with whips, and things that vibrate,
not so innocent

top shelf
where all the best
things are. Placed beyond my
reach I stretch but cannot grasp the
goodies
