Ribbit's piece felt the most disconnected, and while they had interesting concepts, I feel you still struggle a bit with wording. Improve on your fluidity and you'll be a force.

Witty: I saw this as you writing from the perspective of not the predator but the prey, the meek. But, I do fail to see connectivity to the topic and while this is probably due to my own ability to penetrate into the deeper veil of it all, I cannot see it. I did like it though, it had presence. Although, I did feel the first stanza was your weakest, but the other two helped carry it along.

Rakontur: Yours to me was the most elegant in this bout. Which isn't always the best thing, of course, simplicity a lot of times is the best way to forward. Something I usually don't do it either. Anyways, the energetic ploy was a good one and it showcased the futility in corporate dominance, which I felt you were aiming for. Might be mistaken, but words like greed, energy and lightbulb, as well as the meek displayed an attempt to render the ways of the world. And how nature at the end of it all ends up besting their attempts of control through its own energetic resources blessed upon us by the ether and the seasonal variations that come and go.

I felt Witty and Rakontur came close, but as I'm forced to discriminate them more, in order to draw out a vote, I felt the latter had the better pieces.

Vote: Rakontur
