The entries are brilliant and worthy of winning and so was not easy to make a choice but I have now voted and wish good luck to everyone.
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
This is one of the hardest LitNet poetry contests to pass judgement on - each author has a right to be proud of what they've accomplished here.
There was one, though, that for me stood out as the first among equals, so I've voted for that one.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Apparently, this one is going to be close! And so it should be! Great poems, all!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
All the entries are so good that it took me three days and many re-reads to finally settle on one. I was torn between two poems. It's a pity that I have just one vote. Anyway, good luck to all!
I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's. ~ William Blake
Captivity is consciousness,
So's liberty. ~ Emily Dickinson
We at least need one more vote to break the stalemate. Read and heed!
Some of us laugh

that we cope with our lives...
Beautiful everything!
It can't get more interesting. Four poems have two votes each. Who will be the winner?Come on folks, VOTE!

I enjoyed all of them. Three were very, very good. One stood out for me.
Here's to writing.

It came down to two here, and they were neck and neck!

Gosh, this is exciting! The field narrows further...

The voting will close at 10 p.m. tonight. Thanks for your patience, everyone, and many thanks to all of you for taking the time to look at the poetry and vote.
So....going once....

Don't scream, I'm extending the deadline one more day as some have indicated an interest in voting, and I love the idea of as many people participating as possible.

Amazing talent!
That goes toward all entries. I was torn between the last two, but alas I can vote for one only.
Nice effort by all.
sorry for creating a tie - another extension?
