the six poems

Can't make up my mind. Must we be forever sitting in judgement? If all poems submitted are sincere, heartfelt and well-written, how can we judge which is best? My own opinion is that they all could do with minor editing to polish them up a bit. (I don't buy into that silly sixties notion that a poem springs full-blown and perfect into the world. This might happen occasionally, but most poems require polishing. Interestingly, I find that free verse poems require the most fiddling and fussing about with to get them right.)
