Actually, I'd like to note a few things.
I received a modest number of submssions.
Most were from white males over the age of 30. Is this my demographic?
One was from a female, under 30.
Heterosexuals outnumbered homosexuals by 2 to 1.
One poet submitted twice.
I actually enjoyed reading every submission! That's gotta be some kind of first. But, seriously, there were no stinkers in the bunch! The poems I found least aesthetically compatible with my own idea of "interesting poetry" were also the youngest poets. Coincidence? I don't know. But I liked those poems too!
The most "lightweight" but most amusing poem came from a Professor of Spanish.
I've decided to award publication to two poets, as I liked two poems especially much. I have declared a tie.
So the winners are Andy Carter of Emporia, Kansas and David Shapiro of NYC.
Congratulations!
Go to Poetry Less Than Daily tomorrow to see the winning poems.
Thanks for playing!
