--Marleen Hulst; The Netherlands
Votes:3*2*** Points:09
Comments: I would have voted for this one if line 3 had read: “behind her name” or “beside her name” without the “now”

the calendar
--Magdalena Dale - Romania
Votes:52**** Points:09
Comments:I like the play on "leaf." Purists may object to the extended moment.

pocket calendar—
filling in the blank spaces
of her memory
--Margaret Dornaus
Votes:34**** Points:11

only one date
circled in her calendar –
the 11th september
--Cezar-Florian Ciobîca
Votes:21**** Points:04
Comments:I like this, but find the last line confusing. It sounds as if it’s 11th anniversary vs. September 11th? Maybe it is? A bit too ambiguous.
