Standouts for me: I liked Ella's poem for its easy sensuality (which is hard to pull off well), and Dale's especially its conclusion, and Mercedes poem was one of those ones that I always wish I can write, but never can. I loved how visual and panoramic it was, and how it had such a haunting quality as it circled back on itself at the conclusion.

Thanks Todd - I revised this poem, and it's been accepted for publication in 4th Floor Journal (out in November) so you see how much this NaPoMo benefits a writer!

Well, I'm glad to hear it. It deserved to be published. There are more than this one though that probably should get accepted somewhere. You had a really nice run this month. Some stunning work!
