/v Vulgar - you captured the essence of some underlying emotional connection i have with the world we live in, with this piece. that's how i felt about this verse. not that you completely made sense or i grasped it. just the deepest notions of nature embodied in modern man. amazing stuff. animal instinct level connection. deep writing. .. tbh you could have started here and won.

enjoyed it all but "" scenery was amber could have been reworked. the lines that followed really needed to tie in with some rhyme. it would've helped the read immensely. your last twelve lines dwarve a lot of my favorite work from this season.

Diode - your story read well. i feel like the third stanza was your weakest point. you've thoroughly grasped ahold of storytelling. sounded kind of gay.... when your main character david should have done something extravagent you went into this king james stuff... and it was like the dude swooped on that bitch. david got played. james got game. they formed a great serial-killer-esque team but you did not develop your twist enough my well spoken friend. ........
