2019 Best of the Net Nominees

Every poem published at The Five-Two is a favorite of mine, so in past years I've allowed readers to vote on three of my six submissions for Sundress Publications' Best of the Net anthology.

This has been quite a busy year, so I chose all the submissions right at the September 30 deadline.

In the order they debuted during Best of the Net's July 1, 2018–June 30, 2019 eligibility period:

• "Florida Man" by Peter M. Gordon
• "That Alternative Universe" by Nancy Scott
• "Punk" by Rusty Barnes
• "Murder at the Monastery" by Gregory Cioffi
• "Ballad of a Tabby Man" by Howard Ho
• "First Degree Murder" by Roseanne Fahey

My thanks and good luck to all.
