I really love red's idea but don't think it pulled it off well enough. It was still my second-favorite, besides Narcissist, which was self-exposure in a fun way, along with a deep sense of hurt.
taipan, it's fun, but not as good [the poem about itself! ahhh]. Guilan, good but I thought it wasn't quite there. Karab, it didn't speak to me. [I think that generally when writing in that mode it's easy to slip into generalities.]

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan

I at least enjoyed most of the poems this week. Not gonna vote for Red, though it was my second favorite. It spent a little too long on the cliches it's addressing, and then addressed them with more cliches. Beautifully written though, I've gotta give Rubin that much, and still my second favorite.
Sculptor was the one I voted for. The structuring gave it greater rhythm, and the metaphor is particularly resonant.
Here are the Poetry submissions for this week:
Red by rubin
Sculptor by Sam111111
Contested Poetry Contest by Guilan
Untitled by Taipan
What are the Words Worth by Karab
Narcissist by Zelderex
