My vote goes to "The Cow" by Andrew Hudgins.
-Dino
I usually love Hudgins, but I don't care for his Lemony Snicket phase. Of the others, I found two compelling--Beautiful Without Money and Under the Pergola. Tough call, but I think I'll go with Under the Pergola.
Okay, I'll vote for Cotler, "Beautiful without money." Even though the ending disappointed me a bit, the power and skill of the first lines were compelling. I liked the Cow too.
More of the sort of poems I like this week. My vote goes to Dana: After the Storm.
Andrew Hudgins, Sir!
Barnoy - Twelve Movies
It was a tough call this week.
I really like Hudgins - The Cow...it's like some sort of realist Dr. Seuss or something.
In third place for me this week is Collins - Low because I like the imagery, & it kinda reminds me of me.
Hudgins' 'The Cow'.
Cow
ok, seeing the way this is going, judging by other comments, I'm prepared to be disappointed (yet again), but I'm going to vote for "Twelve Movies" -- for that middle section.
def cow
the cow vs after the storm
the storm won.
Low, by Arda Collins, is my choice this week. (Glad to see a bit of agreement/overlap between my niece's choices and mine this time ... for a change :D))
