THE FIFTH DAILY POEM PROJECT, WEEK FIVE RESULTS
The fifth week of my fifth Daily Poem Project has ended in a tie: Jason Gray, Letter to the Unconverted, and David Huerta, Before Saying Any of the Great Words (tr. Mark Schafer), each received 10 votes out of 34 cast.
I could have broken the tie with my vote (which I'd kept in my pocket just for such an eventuality), but I really wanted to vote for the third-place poem, Deborah Warren's Dream with Flowers and Bowl of Fruit, so I did. Warren's poem received five votes, and the other four poems all had two or three votes.
My thanks to everyone who voted, and my special thanks to those of you who posted the call for votes on your blogs. I'll be posting the call for votes for week five on Sunday morning, March 29.
The winner of week one was Sherod Santos, Film Noir.
The winner of week two was Edward Field, Cataract op.
The winner of week three was David Bottoms, A Chat with My Father.
The winner of week four was David Schloss, The Myth.

I think it's at least a little bit interesting that
the two poems that Michael L. commented on
as unlikely to be liked by the same reader(s)
ended up in a tie for best-liked poem of the
week!

Hi Andrew,
I guess I read the wrong tally or the wrong post. Glad to have been included in this good company.
Cheers,
Jason
