I am pleased to announce that our new Poet Laureate is Florian Fischer!
His wonderful poem "anfang" ("beginning") has won the contest, with both

am honored to pass the talking stick to you.

An astonishing thing keeps happening:
polished practice, endless rehearsals lead to
hushed reflection, sudden activity --
and always,
the appearance of birds.
-Chris Corrigan
3.
At once he strode
into the circle,
grabbed all the paper
and glared with triumph.
Then smiling sheepishly
he replaced it.
-Alan Stewart
4.
An Open Space:
Essence,
Simplicity,
Generosity,
Inclusion.
So...
Discover the heart,
Do one less thing,
Give it away,
Welcome the stranger...
-Peg Holman

There once was a fellow named Owen
Who claimed he was not really all knowin'
He learned how to fire us
It spread like a virus
Now Open Space is comin' and goin'.
-Peg Holman

gib raum neuem anfang
beginning
at the beginning
there was no end
eversince they decided
beginning forever
over-is-over tells us
it´s time for a further beginning
-Florian Fischer
7.
A seed in the dirt,
An empty sky,
A flying, crying eye.
Words fall through me
Like swords through wind;
Goodbye.
-Todd Saddler
8.
Agenda Unknown
Tension between fear and longing
broken by one voice in the bare room:
first step on the journey,
chaos into light.
-Joelle Everett
9.
A list, only a list?
Of Angels opening space
in a community of
appreciation
that exists in our minds?
That's Good!
-David Adams
