OK.
Reply to this post with your favorite poems from the esteemed poetsgraves poets. I see no reason to restrict this to this year's posts as we did not (to my knowledge) do this last year. SO, open range. This can be a top ten format if you like, or a top one...however you wish it. A few notes:
1. This is not a competition
2. Nor is it a popularity contest
3. Neither should it indicate any sort of bias beyond preference based on the quality of the poem.
4. Lastly, include in your list a maximum of one of your own posts: this is not about drawing attention to yourself.
This should be fun.
Cheers all,
Keith

I suppose for lack of a better way, you can search any particular member at a time, and search his posts. It may take a while, but hey, there's no deadline and we're staring at a weekend...

I suppose a quick start would be to peruse the featured poems. As they are voted for people by the people, obviously many fine poems have not been included, but it's a start.

Hello everyone,
Just started a new job so have been absent from the boards recently but to come back and find this topic was great. I'd forgotton just what great stuff was on the boards.
As for a favourite poem; the one that spings to mind from recent months is:
What we did before dark by that girl (without doubt)
then in no particular order:
Notes pinned to a fridge door by dillingworth
fridge magnets by sandbanx
Our kiss by Notrebaise
Stranded by Camus
Still consdiering what will be added to make up the top ten. might even find others to replace the above. Still going through bombadils considerable output to find a favourite there. Any for now better get back to work before I'm fired.
Hope everyone is well.

I know this is a bit off beat but the funniest thing on the forum (in my opinion) has got to be kj's parody of Duncan's biography.
