Alan's latest poem, Family Man, is quite good. The connections formed by the relationships are authentic, and as a father, I found I immediately related to this piece.

I really enjoyed Calooh's Poem, acorn, is beautifully written and very affective. 

(some thoughts on) The Fertility of Turtles is another piece worth reading. Aphaisic has offered an interesting breakdown of The Futility of Turtles. I think it's illustrative of the types of ways a good critic might consider poetry as they read it. To be clear though, it's not the only way. I know that for some people this sort of approach might ruin their enjoyment. However, for many of us, a large part of the joy of poetry is in the deep consideration.

An old favorite of mine is Julie's Just In Case I Die Today. You can decide for yourself whether it works or not. Personally, I think the effect is great.
