I'm pretty sure Taliesen is a male, although referentially an androgynous (think Woolf) one I believe.

Maybe they are arguing over the winner? Maybe they are enjoying mead in their secret chamber? Maybe they are reading a very interesting book? Maybe they are having fun with their fellow crows? Or maybe they have forgotten about the contest? There are many possibilies. :DQuote:

One thing I've been thinking about, to relieve some pressure; how about making choosing the winner a voting process? What are your thoughts?
well - that might be nice, but i also like it being the last poem winner's prerogative. sort of makes it more special to be the one picked. and the person who posted the picture might also have an idea of what they wanted to see in the interpretations.
i guess it's up to the winner each week though . . .
The problem is there would be the bias of people choosing their own poems, that is why the winner does not write one. We have the everyone voting system for short storie competitions though,right?
It's an interesting idea, I like it, however there is such a challenge in reading, thinking about and ultimately choosing the winning poem, I think it would let the winner off the hook if there were a common vote. Poets could vote for their own, but in an open poll, everyone would know because the poems wouldn't be anonymously posted.
I've thought of this too, but all the poems would have to be in at a deadline and someone would have to collect them an set up a poll and a new thread for each time.
BTW, I think Tal is taking too long. I think it's been two months. I mean I hate to rush people but I think it's getting rediculous. I mean he could just pick a winner and not have to explain.
I love the idea of one person judging the contest. The part I love best about this is that that person judging gets to comment on everyone's poems. If we did a group polling, too many comments from too many different people might just lead to confusion.
Yes, I like the current method.
Yes. Tal? maybe you should provide a definite deadline.Quote:
