UPDATE: Voting has been disabled. The winner will be posted today, Saturday, September 13th.
In my recent post, "Poetry Challenge: Diamond Poetry," I invited my visitors to exercise their poetic prowess. I received some wonderful submissions and before I can reward one these poets with a $10.00 Gift Card, I need YOU to cast your vote.
Here are the simple rules for voting...
- You may not vote for you own poem. (This will make the results more interesting.)
- Quickly review the example and the Diamond Poetry instructions— two posts down.
- Choose the poem that inspires you most and closely follows the instructions.
- Vote for only ONE poem.
- Then, in the "Comments" section of this post, give the # of the poem that you have selected.
- The deadline for voting is Friday, September 12th at Midnight PST. The winner will be posted the following day.

Hard to choose and I'll give runner-up to Kijsa for "oven, plate, pie" but I think I'll choose Mary Isabella's! Maybe she'll take me to Starbucks ;)

Hard to choose - wonderful poems! - but I vote for #2!
KJ, I loved your comment on my post and the very wise poem you wrote in the 6th grade. Thank you for sharing a little of your past.
I did write a diamond poem but didn't think is was very good so I didn't write in on your post. Such is life.
I will vote though.
My sister came over today and wanted a cup of the tea you gave me.. She read my post and nothing else would do. she made the tea and we enjoyed a cup together. She loved it.
I vote for Beverly #1
Hugs, Jeanne
Those are all so wonderful!! I've never heard of the diamond poem before (I'm always learning here KJ!) I had a hard time choosing, but think I'm gonna have to pick the one by ShabbyintheCity.
Smiles, Karen
Hi KJ,
I vote for #3, although they are all good.

Hi Kj..
I would like to vote for
Kari No. 2 It was hard to choose, but the words to Kari's I could relate too!!
Hugz Lorie
Okay...seriously...kijsa went over here and didn't tell me...now to make it even I want to vote for her (although I would vote for all of them if I could)...great contest and each poem is truly special!
BTW...Whitney called and I told her about the contest. She THOUGHT she knew what a diamond poem was (she was a journalism major in college) until I started using words like "participle" and then she was speechless (which is VERY rare for her)! LOL!
Have a blessed and wonderful day!
smiles, kari
This was hard! They were all so clever and creative... but I vote for #5.
Nancy
I vote for #4.
I liked the words used and the hope of Spring after the Winter.
Hello KJ, just stopped in to say hello today. Have a good one.
Hugs...Jeanne

Mary Isabella and Kiley too!
Hard to choose I'll vote for #3 They all are great! Denise
