Generally Sponsored Poetry Poll for July 2011
This is the generally sponsored poetry poll for the July 2011 Poetry Fishbowl. You have $34 to spend. There are two $10 poems left: "The Ones They Leave Behind" and "Half-Baked Ideas." (Note that "The Ones They Leave Behind" is a direct sequel to " Shine On," concerning Ari's brother Larn as his sister leaves the village; and that "Half-Baked Ideas" is a sequel to " Where the Action Is, and Was, and Ever More Shall Be" describing how Brilla the baker has her shop across the street from Dron the barkeeper.) There is one $20 poem left: "Wipeout." There is one new epic poem available here: "The Blackfly Tribute" for $32.
There are also three open epics to which you could direct funds: " Enki's Messengers" needs $32.50 to be fully funded; you could finish it off. " Fiorenza and the Witch-Son" needs $38.50 to be fully funded; you could almost cover all of that. "Igor's Creature" needs $45 to be fully funded; you could put a big dent in that.
The following poll has multiple sections. First, decide how you'd like to distribute funds across the sizes of poetry. Next, there are some followup questions for selecting specific poems within those categories, depending on which category option proves most popular. Please vote in all of those, not just the one(s) relating to your favorite option, because it could go any way and your input will help all around. Note that the particular choices in the microfunding questions are aimed at getting you at least one new verse of the selected poem(s) insofar as that is possible; this and the general fund remnants have made for some funny-looking numbers, so rest assured there are reasons for that. I will check this poll Thursday night. If there's a clear winner at that time, I'll close the poll; if not, I may let it run a bit longer.
