Poetry Madness: Round 2, Game 3

Now that you have read through all of the poems and chosen a winner to advance to the Elite 8, the pressure has mounted. For the remainder of the posts, your explanation for choosing a winner must include new, original thought and attention to the poet's craft.

As a reminder, when choosing a poem based on poet's craft, you must pay attention to: rhyme scheme, line breaks (when a poet ends a line), punctuation, word choice, simile/metaphor (comparing one thing to another), and repetition.

Original Thought could include a personal connection or the ability to visualize the poem.

Your post must include the following as to why you chose a winner:
*Poet's craft
*New, original thought
