Have you entered paid poetry contests and won?

I know it's a lot to ask, but I'm considering entering a paid poetry contest (To be judged by Paul Durcan), so please let me know which of the following poems do you like the most:

"Painting you": http://writerscafe.org/writing/DineshThePoet/10950...

"Touch": http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/DineshThePoet/1...

"Bridge": http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/DineshThePoet/1...

"Beethoven's Ninth in D Minor": http://writerscafe.org/writing/DineshThePoet/10855...

"Color Wheel": http://writerscafe.org/writing/DineshThePoet/10673...

"The other day": http://writerscafe.org/writing/DineshThePoet/10619...

Update:

Thanks Lizzy and Caz. And Lizzy, it's just that I can't delete questions that I've posted on YA. If I post them directly, some publishing firms consider that "previously published" and there'd be copyright problems. I just want to avoid the confusion.

    Not Bridge imo.

    The poem Painting You has a really wonderful flow but idk. Contrast against Bridge which has one that's intentionally discordant, beginning with 'silence - '

    It's a great poem but I'd rather enter something more 'up beat'. Idk whether considering the judges or pandering to them is a good idea. ;p

    That's just my uninformed opinion, I do read a lot of poetry however I'm not an expert.

    Good luck is probably all I wanted to say!

    No, I don't think my ego could handle another kick in the balls right now.

    Best of luck, though.
