People's choice awards
Because our opinion's not the only one that counts, we developed a
randomized voting booth
to collect data on which couplets our users like best. We used this data to
continually rerank the submissions by popularity
. Based on the voting data received as of 12:00pm EST on Valentine's Day, the following six poems are the People's Choice winners of the 2003 Valentine Slam:
I long for you both night and day
To pack your bags and go away!
