Hi all, I was wondering if you could do me a favour and tell me which of these 3 poems you think is the best as i want to enter a competition at uni and dont know which one to use. I prefer the rag doll one as it means more to me, but I dont know whether to go with the cherry picked one. thanks!

I really enjoyed all three poems elz. I would go with rag doll or holy temple, sorry I couldn't decide between the two. Beeme

I only read holy temple and rag doll since Beeme had reduced the choice to those two. I agree with you, elz, rag doll is the best!

Hi Elz, Not sure my opinion counts for anything but rag doll is the one I'd go for. It is well written, poignant, and works on many levels. Good luck in the competition. Kheldar :--)

I enjoyed all three but I love the Temple, (not helping much is it), spotted a small typo in ragdoll "cant" missing an ' though I'm sure you will proof read anyway! Best of luck! :~}

Hi there. I would go for the Holy Temple which in my opinion is the best of the three. Normally the cherry is a good indicator to the quality of the piece. Good luck with the competition.

Without fail, my stories that mean the most to me are the most difficult to publish. I think this is because I know more than what the story says, and the editor only sees the story, which may be full of holes. So what I'm trying to say is, this isn't always a good indicator as to what other people will like. For what it's worth, I liked Holy Temple. Good Luck!

Holy Temple is filled with such imagery I can almost hear my voice echo. Hands down for me the best of the three!
