poet 1 was really beautiful to read. loved the language and the creativity. however, for me...the language sort of overwhelmed the eliciting of what the author is feeling. something intangible about it, distant even.

poet 2, i loved for it's simplicity. not as creatively written as poet 1, but the feeling/passion is much clearer/louder/felt. that's why it got my vote.

both poets, great job.
