18 hours to vote

I have decided to enter a poetry competition. It's just a small step, but it's a step none-the-less. I am after literary and critical feedback from my followers as to which poem (or maybe poems - as in two) best reflect my writing style and literary abilities.

Here are my shortlisted:

Iscariot's Rope
Consanguinity
Recidivism
The dichotomy of dealing with the dead
Rapunzel
Russian Dolls
Fallacy
Pandora's Box

I look forward to your comments :)

  1. I like both of these, they have a story and are accessible to all audiences not just those in the know. Good luck

    Iscariot's Rope
    Fallacy

  2. Consanguinity: Simple, yet powerful.
    The dichotomy of dealing with the dead: Complex, yet clear.

    Hope it helps! :)

  4. I was always a fan of "Rapunzel" - but I'm curious... which poem (or poems) did you choose for the contest?

    (Sorry, btw, that I missed the chance to vote. It's been a crazy month.)

  5. That's no problem Laura. I really like Rapunzel too, but I wasn't sure it fitted the 'feel of the competition' if you know what I mean.

    I went with: The dichotomy of dealing with the dead, Iscariot's Rope, Fallacy and Recidivism.
