[Update, April 29: I have extended the deadline for votes for week 9 until May 1.]

THE FIFTH DAILY POEM PROJECT, WEEK NINE

Here are the poems to vote for in the ninth week of the fifth Daily Poem Project (the poems on Poetry Daily from Monday, April 13, to Sunday, April 19):

HOW TO VOTE: You can send your vote to me by email or as a comment on the blog. If you want to vote by commenting but do not want your vote to appear on the blog, you just have to say so in your comment (I moderate all comments on my blog). I will post comments as they come in. (If you want to vote anonymously on the blog, please sign your vote with some sort of pseudonym, so that I can keep track of the various anonymous voters more clearly.)

Please make a final decision and vote for only one poem (although it is always interesting to see people's lists).

Please VOTE BY FRIDAY, APRIL 24! But I will still accept votes as long as I have not posted the final results. (April 26 at the latest.)

The winner of week one was Sherod  Santos, Film Noir.
The winner of week two was Edward Field, Cataract op.
The winner of week three was David  Bottoms, A Chat with My Father.
The winner of week four was David  Schloss, The Myth.
The co-winners of week five were Jason  Gray, Letter to the Unconverted, and David  Huerta, Before Saying Any of the Great Words (tr. Mark Schafer).
The winner of week six was Stacey Lynn  Brown, Cradle Song II.
The winner of week seven was Jack  Gilbert, Not Easily.
No winner has yet been announced for week eight (due to my problems with my home computer).
