Words Contest voting round!

[New]

Here is the all-important voting round for the poetry contest! We have two entrants this round, so choose carefully. The authors will be revealed after the two-week voting period is over.

So without Further ado:

Poem 1:

Boots and Pants

As a child I used to dream
of doing grand things,
The center of attention

Shimmering hope
Dancing stars
Helped me cope
Helped see me through.

This stage of life
Each of us with
Rolls, play, can become ecstatic!
But in motivation, expectations and intentions
Are not necessarily one in the same.

I need love.
I want this feel.
This is what I really need,
Tender quality.

Putting one foot after the other
Requires effort
Strenuous effort
But it is in the movement that really counts

The means to the ends
Can’t they they too become ends in themselves?

Now when I dream,
I dream of dancing.

Poem 2:

Hope Haiku

Shelf of few regrets
winter garden hibernates
hope in spring blossoms

Any rules to the voting?

 

[New]

There are no rules that come to mind, especially with the paucity of entries this go-round.

 

[Captain.Heroin]

We'll probably close off the voting eventually, so just vote swiftly. That's the only rule.

I vote for Gary Johnson

 

[Captain.Heroin]

I vote for Gary Johnson

I did that IRL this election, but in the primaries I voted for Petersen. I want all drugs legalized/decriminalized, not just marijuana.

This is like watching a horse race made up of contestants with only three legs

This is like watching a horse race made up of contestants with only three legs

This is what pigs flying looks like

A glorious tie

 

[Jabberwocky]

Until next round!

 

[Ovidio]

Awh, I just came here to vote. So there are no ballot papers left?

 

[Jabberwocky]

I feel like the winner would have to have won by at least two points - just like how they do it in tennis. Fair must be fair
