i get what a lot of people are saying about frank sidestepping the rules by adding connecting syllables to keep a line going far past what's normally allowed. however, certain's instructions said in the event of an issue, word count of 150 or less will be used. frank played within those boundaries. are any of you seriously surprised?
mgk's verse, while simple in flow, technique, concept, and "moral" - was well executed for what it was. it's perfectly acceptable writing. inoffensive. i can see how some are smelling an upset.
(however)
frank's vivid imagery just does it for me, dudes. he's also took a swipe at my alliteration approach and what can i say, i'm sucker for it when used properly. the flow is disjointed at points with a single line with a single rhyme scheme having no connection to the rest of the verse. threw me off a bit. subject was a firefighter themed twist on frank's usual storytelling - nothing too extravagant here. the sight and smell were relayed to my brain space with far better success thank anything mgk did.
v/ frank
