well, of course. my taste for poetry runs in many directions, but not every direction.

Right i read them all again, and i dont usually read things closely once tbh
As always, and as i always say, i think the writing and reading is of a very good standard, varied closer or further to my own taste but almost all of it striking or entertaining or holding wholly or in some part at least an idea or turn or run of phrase or sounding that i like a lot
jhm and treeship, as in previous years, are delivering the stuff that is chiming and jiving with me the most and this year i reckon im going to plump for one of treeships

(Why in the fuck did I use the verb 'plootered'?)
I looked it up. It's a great dialect word. Thanks for using it and teaching it to me.

Still feels kinda clumsy but thank you both. Works with disembogued in a thematic sense, I guess.
So much good stuff here. I have no idea how I'm going to vote.

I often start with a phrase or an image in a poem - let it bleed from there. Two such phrases:
my memory will waste its sweetness alwayson misallocation of my senses
I ran my tongue along my hard crownsabout an hourbefore I decidedto spend the springrunning with dogs in the park.

That should have read two such phrases/images.

As always, I hope for more than 11 total votes cast, which is the number of poets who posted poems. But, this is mainly a convocation of our peers and that's fine, too.

We poets must have our fun, too.

Might starting planning for next years now, writing directly into the add a post field has proven not to be a vote winner
