Most Creative: The Weight of Sweetness by Li Young Lee

No easy thing to bear, the weight of sweetness

song, wisdom, sadness, joy and sweetness
equals three of any of these gravities.

See a peach bond
the branch and strain the stem until
it snaps.
Hold the peach, try the weight, sweetness
and death so round and snug
In your palm
and so, there is
The weight of memory:

Windblown, a rail- soaked
bough shakes, showering
the man and the boy
they shiver in delight
and the father lifts from his son's cheek
one green leaf
fallen like a kiss

The good boy hugs a bag of peaches
his father has entrusted
to him
Now he follows
his father, who came a bagful in each arm
see the look on the boy's face
as his father moves
faster and father ahead, while his own steps
flag, and his arms grow weak, as he labors
under the weight
of peaches.

Favorite Line: One Green leaf, fallen like a kiss.
Why I choose it: I choose it because it is like the universe is in the peach itself, life, death, labor and love. Li young lee shows that the father loves his son and entrusts him with something so precious in his life, it shows that its not such an easy thing to bear, the weight of  something so amazing and so close, so much can be expected of you from doing something so little and seems meaningless but in reality it could be someones everything.
How it made me feel: Made me feel like peaches are the center of his life and so close to us as humans.
