Who is the best poet in the magnumopus?

[Aleksandra]

I think it's me

[Aleksandra]

What a topic :D I like it. But really I think, that we have so many great poets here. Don't you think?

[fdelano]

Since when is there a "best" in poetry, fiction, music or painting? Besides me, of course.

[eclipse]

such modesty-me of course!

Count on eclipse to ask the question aloud. I have asked myself the same question a number of times. It would not be possible for me to rate myself objectively. I confess a blind vote would be interesting, but I have to agree with Franklin: each brings the irreplaceable gift. And as I have stated before, I prefer the work here to much of what I find in the literary journals and anthologies, so any assessment from me would have to take that into account.

 

Another interesting poll would be the top ten poems (again, I kind of gave my vote away in an earlier post). fdelano and eclipse perhaps author the largest number of my top-top favorites, for what that is worth. But Tony, Tinker, Badger, and Aleks may have hit me hardest where I live, one time each. And then there are all the rest of you... Gad. I vote Victor the most audacious pot-stirrer, but Barry just got himself into the race.

[Larsen M. Callirhoe]

actually who gets my cogs turning here is Dr Con and then eclipse.

Yeah, doc is great, so is Benjamin, and Goldenlangur, and... And, oh, I forgot to mention your (Victor) own sucker punch, "Breaking Up," from last year.
