T O N K S




This was extremely difficult for me, because all of the poems are so great! Congratulations to all for your efforts!

But yes, it was so difficult that I even had to make up some strict conditions for myself:

- I don't like errors, so poems with errors were out straight away.
- I also want things to have a certain rythm. Now rythm doesn't mean rhyming, because not everything has to rhyme for me. Some sentences have to though.
- The meaning behind the poem.
- Of course the poem itself
- Vocabulary
- And last; originality.

In the end I choose three out of the five between which I was pending.

Vote 1 - Smoky
I just love your poem. It's short and strong, and the meaning was also a second thought of mine defining mirror dreams. I like your vocabulary very much in this poem (motions of sound, strangled my mind, magical mix) and I feel as if anyone can relate to this poem. It's just so abstract and wildly preceivable, but it's still personal because of the word 'my'. You did a great job.

Vote 2 - child of the other side

A very strong, but abstract poem. It gives me a rebellious sensation and it also appeals to me because I strongly feel that the world is fake and everything that is really going on is so well hidden. I don't know, but you kind of managed to describe the mind of the average human being on Earth. I love your vocab.

Vote 3 - Jalf

It's different, quite personal and again a very good definition of the word mirror dreams. I like the first sentence the most, it captures your attention straight away. It's fresh and short and many people in love think this way when they like someone that doesn't notice them. Very good.

And that's all folks. Everyone did a great job, too bad that I can only vote 3 times.
