   What is in your opinion, the best poem you've ever written?
   Mine is a poem that I've yet to post on YWS called "nothing". It's writing style was inspired by some of Shakespeare's poetry and is based on the idea of how short life is and how often it is wasted.
   I think it's the best one I've written mainly because it's my first "serious" poem that I've put tonnes of time and thought into. It also won the school's poetry competition for my year group last year.

   This is a really hard question. I would say that my best poem would have to be a recent one, but I did some pretty stellar work when I was angst-y. I don't think I can actually answer this without seriously looking through all of them and getting a consultation. Off the top of my head, I would think that Stay is up there.

   I'd have to say the best poem I've ever written is a three-part spoken word piece called "Circadian Circuit." I don't think I've ever written anything as true as Circadian. It took me months to get locked down, and I cried working on it.
   
   It's a poem about life in the Philippines at the exact period in time I wrote it. It's more descriptive than it is didactic, but it touches on the inability to find words to express love when you're an LGBT in a predominantly Catholic country, and then finally finding courage to shout about it in the streets.

   I think the best poem I have written is the second in my collection 'my crush' though it really doesn't have anything to do with me and was a total piece of imagination, I always enjoy reading it maybe because it was the best humorous poem I have ever written...
   
   It's a poem about a girl and her embarrassing day.

   Well I have been asked to look at some poetry stuff and I think that my best piece of poetry is called the winds of change.

   I think my favorite poem that I have written would be "The True Monsters" inspired by the surrealist artwork of H. G. Giger. I have yet to post it here but it will be in a published poetry anthology this fall. This will be my first published piece.
