[Certain]

Totoro: This was a very cool, slickly written verse, which is what we have come to expect from you. But I did have a problem with the relation to the topic. So much of this was a commentary on how man fell rather than what comes next. I really liked the part about evolution, and I thought it was funny that Knob Creek lasts another 200 years. This was a cool verse to read, but I didn't think the topic provided a clear enough thread linking the verse. In essence, while the topic was vague enough that the verse didn't go against it, it also didn't embody the topic the way I prefer.

Witty: This verse was all over the place. As always, your rhymes were your strength, and the more you let them carry the verse, the better. But the content was really, really weak. You spent most of the verse describing a single scene that led up to the topic (and actually had me thrown a bit as to which topic you were writing to), then barely went into any detail about what happened. I wasn't confused, but I wanted more specificity to give me more emotional attachment. The attack could have been described more, too. Instead we got a shitload of hangover description and not much else. And the ending was rather trite. You also sort of nullified Totoro's weakness by not hitting on the topic until near the end of the first stanza, and your verse wasn't as compelling in a void.
