But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

You cannot vote for yourself.
Heal my wounds with devotion, sew up my heart with despair, strip my face of confinement, release me to the dreams that await me.

My list so far. A rough draft currently, to be edited later.

Best poem: Brad's Giving Thanks
(not entirely sure about best poem yet, but that one really stuck in my mind!)
Best poem, Dramatic Poetry: Gummy's My Rose Garden's Past Life: Six Earls and a Superstar
Best structured poem: Dream Deep's The Glory of Grey

Gaah, I'm sorry my list is really pathetic. It's just so hard to review a whole year of stuff, you know? And I'm horrible at making decisions. But I at least wanted to get my vote for best poem in...
"My pet, I've been to the devil, and he's a very dull fellow. I won't go there again, even for you..."

Sorry, that made me sound really selfish... the reason I was asking is because SkaterPunk put up her own poem.
