Wow what a battle. We may not have the BIG name legendary heavyweights of the topical scene in this tournament but imo both of these verses could easily stand up to the very best any of them have to offer.
Ether - amazingly written and well thought out piece. You are clearly an excellent writer/poet that has seamlessly transitioned into the style of what we do here. It’s really very impressive. All while still staying true to your own style of writing. This piece was thought provoking and would clearly be the favored piece in any type of writing workshop or literary magazine setting. That being said I’m sure it’ll impress even the most hardened topicalists here
Obj- you may not agree but this was the best piece I’ve ever read from you. Your take on the picture was phenomenal. With great multis and everything to go along. I love the way the story was better upon second read after the reveal at the end. I truly don’t think that I could have come up with a better concept to that picture and I pride myself on that aspect of writing so respect.
Overall - very close. It comes down to personal preference here. I personally enjoy reading story pieces like objectives. I’m sure both verses will get lots of votes and it’ll come right down to the wire here. I throughly enjoyed reading both so I say thanks to both competitors for entertaining me.
