Please follow this link:
(password: citrus)

Find your favorite poems here!

Read the poems,
pick your top three favs
and send Blarg your vote via Private Message!

In his words:

How to Vote

Once the poems are posted, you may send me your vote via PM – one vote per current AW member in good standing, also using the private message function.

The subject line of the PM should be VOTE: ZIPCODE Contest.

In the body of the message, include up to three votes in order of preference, from first to third. List both the poem number and the title. For example:

3. Peyton Place
7. Kill my Landlord
8. Strapping on the Couch

Voting will close at 11:59 PM US Eastern on December 30, 2011. Any votes received after that time will not count.

I will then post complete results with vote totals for every entry, and announce the winner.

If you win, we'll need a mailing address of course. Prize donators will either mail your prize to you or have it sent from an online distributor.

All right, then, Zippy -- get cracking and claim your place! Good luck!

The link to PM Blarg doesn't work.

Also, wow! Every time I vote in an AW poetry contest, it gets harder and harder to choose. The quality of the submissions is so high. Well done, everyone.

Just voted! And you're absolutely right (no pun intended), aa... it took me longer this year than ever before to decide the order of my three votes.

KellyAssauer · Dec 21, 2011

Don't forget to vote! =)

Yes, there's video.

And I'm not going to ask what you were doing with that kumquat.

Ambrosia · Dec 24, 2011

Quick folks! Vote! If I win maybe I can hire someone to take my dog out into the freezing weather to potty instead of braving the cold myself.

(What do you mean there's no monetary award?)

Ambrosia · Dec 28, 2011

The voting ends at 11:59 pm, Eastern, on the 30th.
