Give a Contest; Enter a Contest

I'm all for Yin and Yang, Karma, give and take, balance...so today as AOL's Journal Editor, Jeff announces the contest Betty and I are giving with a great line about Halloween--"Halloween is Christmas for weirdos."

After I woke up I found another contest not to give, but to enter from Writer's Digest.

I polished up my
Unautumn Photography Poem that I posted awhile back, that Google has noticed big time.

Took another look at it; and pondered whether I should submit to a contest with or without punctuation.

Here's the poem without the tiny beasts from my blog entry--

Takin' the fall
Is what I've done
Fallin out of Autumn
An autumn photographer
...Drop out

No golden leaves
Nor maple ooz
Neither cool nor warm
Not hot or cold

Stiff breeze
Not
Still, so very still
Desert Autumn
Mountains status quo

Neither flowers
Nor leaves
Red and orange
And yellow

No fall, no pay
for a short day
Still, there's no way
To say autumn
In the desert

...And here it is with the wild little beasts--

Takin' the fall
Is what I've done.
Fallin out of Autumn,
An autumn photographer
...Drop out.

No golden leaves
Nor maple ooz.
Neither cool nor warm,
Not hot or cold.

Stiff breeze?
Not!
Still, so very still...
Desert Autumn
Mountains status quo.

Neither flowers,
Nor leaves,
Red and orange
And yellow.

No fall, no pay
for a short day.
Still, there's no way
To say autumn
In the desert.

K, my question is which poem looks best?
