The winning poem for 2008 is . . . 

"Waiting for Snow to Fall" by Sean Gunning from Long Beach, CA.
 

Waiting For Snow To Fall


A brain fizzing with nothing
Even faintly audible
Or remotely palpable
Its dim light bulb flickering
A day’s last breath going out
Numb from counting syllables
And re-cycling scribbles
And adding more crossings-out,
Barely emitting a glow
Closing up shop for the night
‘Till the bell tinkles just right
And softly sounds the word snow
Whose soft wet splash on her ear
Asks like a small humming bird
Could this be just the right word
You’ve waited all day to hear?
