With less than 23 hours to go before the poll closes, I just wanted to drop a line encouraging people to vote. ---

The poll is now closed, and so is the June 2010 SDMB Poetry Sweatshop. I want to first thank and congratulate our poets - **Cuckoorex** , **In Winnipeg, Shot From Guns, Elendil’s Heir, melodyharmonius, Le Ministre de l’au-delà, HardlySanguine** and \*\* BarkingDog\*\* - take a well deserved bow. And a very special, hearty congratulations to **Elendil’s Heir** , who is a two-time Poet Laureate of the SDMB - April 2010 for _Theseus in Darkness_ and now June 2010 for _Border Checkpoint Eight_. And again, many thanks to the Mods for their ongoing support - it is greatly appreciated! Til late July - my best wishes to all of you! ---

Like I said, this was an amazing batch – not only wasn’t there a clunker among them, they were, IMO, _all_ frighteningly good. The one that spoke to me, though, was **The Economies of Fate** , by the interesting, but disinterested poet, **Shot From Guns**.
