Since I participated in this, I hope you will understand if I abstain from voting.

Not only is it ok to vote if you participated, it's encouraged.

"Evy, Ivy, Over" gets my vote. I think it's very clever, the way it describes a dandelion in terms that also work for a homeless man on a park bench. And I like how it reads aloud.

Well, as an ekphrasis, I am going to vote for Evy, Ivy, Over; the sensitivity thread helped me see that it's ok to like my own work. And, of course, I had fun reading all the entries. Janet's poem about waiting on a dame to dress is wonderfully funny. Nyctom's poem has his usual light words with a heavy touchingness, and I love Teresa's succinctness with "his problem was the universe". I think it would be fun to have a blind contest, though. It may draw more entries.

It's very hard to choose, they're all delightful
however, Tom gets my vote.

Yes, it's very hard to choose. Tom's, Terese's and Florence's are a few of my favorites but my vote is for Evy, Ivy, Over. The deciding factor was how well it goes with the image.

Michael's Alien Abduction (the first one) tells a funny/bizarre story and seems delightfully self-deprecatory too.

But I'll vote for tom, who let the image launch him on a worthy reverie.
