Fourth Daily Poem Project, Week One Results

THE FOURTH DAILY POEM PROJECT, WEEK ONE RESULTS

The winner of the first week of my fourth Daily Poem Project is Alison Brackenbury's Edward Thomas's daughter, which received a clear plurality: 7 votes out of 18 cast.

In second place was Bob Hicok's By way of introduction, which received 4 of the remaining votes.

Some of the votes, with some comments by the voters, are in the comments section of the call for votes from last Sunday.

The first and second place poems were two of the three I considered voting for; in the end, though, I voted for Stemming from Stevens, by Lisa Williams. I seem to have been the only person who liked that poem, as I was the only one to vote for it!

I posted a separate post on Brackenbury's poem here.

My thanks to everyone who voted. I'll be posting the call for votes for week two on Sunday morning.

The project will run for twelve weeks, and then the twelve weekly winners will be put together for a final vote.

HOW TO VOTE: You can send your vote to me by email or as a comment on the blog. If you want to vote by commenting but do not want your vote to appear on the blog, you just have to say so in your comment (I moderate all comments). (If you read this on Facebook, please vote on my blog and not as a comment on Facebook.)

In the past, I posted the comments only after the final vote was in, but this time around, I will post comments as they come in (so it is no longer a completely secret ballot if you vote early). I'm doing this because some voters (and potential voters) said they thought it would be more interesting this way.

You may vote by the title, the author's name, or the number of the poem in the list above. Please make a final decision and vote for only one poem (although it is always interesting to see people's lists).

Please VOTE BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29! But I will still accept votes as long as I have not posted the final results, which might only be on March 1 or 2.

1DPP: "The Shout," by Simon Armitage
