You’ve been waiting.
Probably not. But I have. The time has arrived. Vote for your favorite three line W.A.R. poem, from the November/December Plight Edition.
The poll will close on December 30.
The winner will get their choice of Literary Tee-shirt from Miles To Go, compliments of me as a Happy New Year/Congratulatory Gift.

Good Luck to all, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and all that good stuff.
All 14 poems are listed in the comment box below. They are 3 lines a piece. It will take no more than 5 minutes to read all. So You Have No Excuse Not To.
Poem first, and poet's name after.
The exact opposite of the way I have it listed on the poll.
Vote for your favorite.
They will win a prize.
That is all I know.
Good day to you.
We
All die
Running from something.
-La Emme Nakita
Wicked as the Way we walk, Widdershins and Wasted
As the Arrows Aiming after all the Angry Asking
Repay the Ruined Riskers, Raping Roil in the River
-J.Y.
At Your Last
When the mountains roll hot
And flow long to drown you
Remember who fired first
-wickedvoodoo
Wasting
Away our lifetime
Revenue potential
-Dino Parenti
Writing from a prompt
As the wintry winds buffet
'Round my warm retreat
-Boone Spaulding
Wet, fresh blood
Against the sting of open wounds, both from
Recoil
-Courtney
Wake alone--
Always without you:
Rain -- dreamt sun
Pendragon
We scream like children
Aged two to six. We fuck on
Roadsides. You make me sick.
-Tony Koval
Whispers of a heart's broken
Arrhythmic score:
Rhapsody of You.
- MadPoet
We play god
And we might just be
Revisiting our own ashes
-Frank Chapel
While new babes cry,
As old men die,
Renew our heartfelt aches
-MLNikcy
War waits in the wind
Answering the call of men
Ready when you are.
-CoveWriter
When you lie
Awake in silence,
Remember the fallen.
-Cosmo
When red eyeballs crawl through
alleys,
ricocheting tears spotting their skin
-Raz
Thanks for stopping by the poll Wonderwoman. I started the Poetry contest back in October just for fun. I usually can't afford prizes but for the holidays I decided to spring for it. I will have a new prompt up in January so feel free to stop by the Plight thread in the New Year if you want to write a poem, or read some.
Hey JR - on the poll and on the first post you typo'd my username. No capitals round here, and you lost a C on the poll list. Just sayin'. Ha,
Also - why do people not title their poems? I can't compute work that doesn't have a title. It doesn't exist if it doesn't have a name!
All that said - I love some of these. Great work, folks.
I don't remember what time I set the poll up at last Sunday but I set it to close in 1 week and I just checked the status and it has officially closed.
This was a close race! Great job everyone. Congrats to Tony Koval, and thank you to all who contributed to November/December's Plight. I will have a new prompt up hopefully on the first, for January's Plight.
