Frankenstein's Monster has legal troubles: fun concept, mediocre poem.
For Ye, of Very Little Faith by W. Gregory Stewart
As physics puns go, this one's electroweak.
Monsters by Geoffrey A. Landis
Commercial Halloween makes monsters unscary, this could be a mistake. Like spending too much time on this poem. And I like Werewolves of London.
Unghost Stories by Greg Beatty
A haunting poem about how one does not need ghosts to feel haunted. Excellent.
The Hedge Witch's Upgrade by Sandra Lindow
Fantastic gardening inspired by the world record for World's Longest Herbaceous Border. Magical description of the mundane is always fun.
Edgar Allan Poe by Bryan D. Dietrich
I like his poem, but I'm not letting Mr. Dietrich run my Dead Writers Action Figure business.
In the final evaluation, this was an excellent issue for poetry: I rate Unghost Stories as my favorite poem of the year, with Edgar Allan Poe and The Hedge Witch's Upgrade as fourth and fifth place, respectively.
