Wow both were exceptional. Oats had a bit better cadence, but Soulstice was not far behind in terms of the rhythmic continuum. Oats lunar allegory was quite beautiful, and gave the image of a serene night of love that metaphorically resembled the majestic star. A star whose constellation and planetary revolutions around us are linked to the fondest embrace. The moon is a quite a nice image giving us comfort and illumination through the darkest time of the day, the night, although the image of the moon though timeless has been done before. The wording itself was poetic, and contrived a natural mental image that has significance to all of us, especially those who find the nighttime exceptionally delightful in its innocence and silence.

As for Soulstice his verse had such comical twist to it a profundity arose from it. His ending was quite original. An ending that made quite clear the separation in cognizance between the artificial life form and that of humanity. Humanity are dreamers, which by extension has intangibility. Now because of this dreams we can create tangibly things that are out of this world like artificial life which manifested consciousness. However, because its consciousness functions in computation and logical algorithms it cannot comprehend the various facets of love. Love to the machine in Soulstice's narrative had a material nature to it. Though one can easily surmise that love isn't material at all.
But to the machine whose frame is nuts and bolts love had this functional substantiality that demanded reciprocity. However, the creator of this machine could only love in his dreams. This idea alone is quite the exemplification of the nuts and bolts of the various realms the human heart can traverse to.

Both were entertaining. Yet my evaluation points to an inclination to one.
Therefore, my vote goes out to Soulstice for an intriguing and comical read.
