Don't know much about history...

Vote for the poem you like the best.

I'm really pleased that the LitNetters have come up with such a variety of historical figures! I'm going to take a few days to mull my decision over, as at the minute I'm torn between three of them - yet again, the competition is very close.

Now you see I find I'm judging them on what I think of the historical figure. Must stop doing that!

I voted for the Keats-like Victoria, they all have something good in them though.

Right, decision made - albeit after much rumination. All of these have something to recommend them - but in the end the vivid imagery of 'Mother of War' appealed to my inter antiquarian.

No one seems to have voted for a while. Are we just waiting for someone to break the tie to close the voting?

I'm giving it another week, cause I have things I do to wrap it up to my satisfaction, and I'm too busy to do that this week. :D

Enjoyed and voted!

The last day of voting will be at 10:00 Thursday, May 9, 2013.

voted.

I voted too, really enjoyed the poem I voted for. It's exceptional.

Hi Qimi. It was a hard choice for me between "Mother of War" and "I never Knew You". I enjoyed them all, and I will return when I have little more time to meditate on them. (I've been working 80+ hrs a week lately)

Thanks for sharing these with me.

All incredible!
Thanks for grabbing my ear and pulling me over here qimissung.
I was struggling with three submissions, but the lighter mood of a Friday night coupled with vodka aided my decision process.
Well done to all and thanks for the efforts!

Thanks for voting, guys. :)

Don't know much about history, but who didn't love Sam Cooke?

Didn't know anything about this contest, till Qimissung asked me about voting.

Had it narrowed down to three and went with the stand-out!

Thanks,

Auntie
