And the Anthology thread is established here at this link. Please, O poets, if you are online, check to make sure I didn’t make any mistakes…
And there, the poll is established.
One caution - because all of the poems were e-mailed to me, then cut and pasted into the anthology, they are all in threads posted by me. Please look carefully at the author’s name at the bottom of each poem - at first glance, it may appear that I am the author of all of these poems. I most certainly am not - I have neither the talent nor the versatility displayed in the Anthology.
Admittedly, it is difficult to choose between such excellent and varied works. However, please, do read them all, ponder and vote - I’ve deliberately phrased the question as ‘favourite’ so that, even if the reader feels they know nothing about poetry, the poem that ‘struck’ the reader the most can still be called ‘favourite’.
Best wishes and my congratulations to all our poets.
