So, the ideal poem:
Would somehow incorporate both "prompt" and "theme"? Or if we're not feeling particularly Halloweeny, we just stick with whatever the prompt is, and it'll be okay?

We had word magnets when I was a teenager. Some words up would go up on the fridge. They'd get rearranged. Eventually, we'd mine all the good combinations and swap in new words. They usually ended up lewd.

I'm not surprised this happened in a poetry round, since that will especially be affected by personal taste, but the voting is skewed every which way.
There were 7 ballots submitted, and 5 different poems got 1st place votes. The only 2 that got multiple 1st place votes finished 4th and 5th overall. The 3rd place winner didn't get any 1st place votes. It's just a weird distribution that results in all that.
