zygote - damn another nice read from you. it left me satisfied when i finished it up. while i would argue that swift progress begets swift downfall does not in fact fly as a universal truth, i do agree that the concept of pride and vanity in the face of elder statesman will nearly always meet an unsavory finish. the 3 seeds parable and the holy trinity were images that i took from the beginning, and the vine/snake in eden was well represented but it also had a few intersecting allegories. that mightve been the point im not sure how i felt about that. probabyl for the best. but anyways i didnt even take this as a religious piece. just a piece about pride and arrogant youth in the face of the Great Oak of tradition and values amongst a landscape that is forever altering what those are to the younger folks.
mike recka - overall i suppose a piece on true love has been done before. it would require incredible wording and memorable lines to truly translate that emotion to a piece that can beat zy's this week. the flow was tight and nothing seemed out of place but it didnt seem like a piece that is going to get my vote over zygotes. simply not ambitious enough.
v - zygote
