An elephant is easier to tranquilize than a giraffe, despite having a thicker skin. You only need to use a bigger dart or more powerful dosis to knock out an elephant. When tranquilizing a giraffe, things get more complicated. You have to catch a falling giraffe with ropes and let it down gently, lest it breaks its neck.
Yes, it does.
Kidnap the kid. Problem solved.

Some sort of weird mixture between Demyx, Larxene and Axel.
You guys should volunteer to be body doubles. Then Obama can finally get around to trolling some fundamentalist organizations.
I listen to almost everything, but among my favourites are punk (all subgenres and punk rock), goa trance, happycore, hard rock, ska and alternative rock. But yeah, I listen to everything from jazz to death metal.
I think he meant himself. At least, I hope he meant himself.
M. Get it?
Yeah, this makes sense. I'm probably Xigbar to some and Luxord to others.
Knowing what to do during the battles with Ice Titan and Phantom will usually result in victory. Kurt Zisa, however, still has it in him to be a ***** even after you figured out his pattern. I found him to be the toughest of the three.
Seconded. That guy was practically a saint.

Hate to see you leave, man. Take care and enjoy life!
Much like PaW, I read it twice in order to get some clarity out of it. That's not a bad thing in this case, since the poem itself was a pleasure to read. I like how you seldom describe emotions as such, and how you portray them in numerous metaphorical ways instead. It makes the poem more challenging but also more interesting to read. I like this piece. Good of you to replace your individual threads with one larger one. Helps keep things tidy, I guess.
I knew that dubious practices like these were all around the Games, but I never imagined they'd be this bad. And yet, it is a logical consequence of the individual being utterly insignificant (megacorporations, consumers and law enforcement alike).
I couldn't reach the level of your poetry with a ten foot pole, so I think it's only natural you got considered.

[pretending to know shit about poetry] Sumi Both of them are marvelous poems. The first one was intense, and succeeds in the very difficult task of making physical pleasure sound romantic. The imagery was striking and brilliant; in a league all its own. I can say the same for the second poem, but all things considered I didn't like it as much as the first one (though that's not saying much since I absolutely adore that first piece). The extensive use of jargon made the poem sound pretentious in its erudition. Granted, such a thing may be commendable in an ode. I still think she went a little overboard though. That being said, her genius and skill in writing poetry is what I shall remember most. Plums Plums frequently twists the knife, resulting in bold but almost cynical poetry. That and their free verse style is where the similarities between the two pieces end: there is an interesting contrast in this set of entries. I like the second one better, perhaps because of its sinister imagery, or because the first didn't exactly skimp on the "I can"s. Or perhaps the second poem says so much in relatively few lines: "Reflect[Refract" is a compact bomb waiting to explode with meaning upon reading. If "Inferno" was equally good, I may have had serious trouble voting. Styx (Why? Because I can.) I like "Knit In The Rhythm". Like, not love. For example, despite the name of the piece there is no real rhythm to speak of. This may cause friction with the readers' expectations. On the other hand, the author clearly tried to walk the line between budding romance and teenage lust, leaving it up to the reader to tilt the balance in either interpretation's favor. It worked. The imagery in this piece was well-intended but an easy target for missing the point. If I had to describe the piece in one word, the word "fragile" comes to mind. The triolet is a rare form, and this was the Styx' first attempt at writing one. This kinda forgives the lack of personal touch in this textbook example. Writing a contrained form is hard, let alone elevating the piece beyond word play into something that has a point. Styx succeeded in doing this, albeit with less depth than he is known to try and squeeze in. My biggest qualm is the overuse of the verb "to need". He should replace the word in the first or second line with "want" or "must" respectively. (Already done this, sent you the wrong version. Long-ass CnC but I know my own poems better than anyone else's.) Nights Nights knows flow. That much is certain. As for the rest, he is almost a wild card when it comes to writing: genius and mediocrity may appear even within the length of a poem. Case in point: "Angry Anthem". Lines like "Least I ain't no baby blowin snot" are hardly groundbreaking, but the brilliance of "I'm a conspire by nature / Part of a greater / nomenclature" a few stanzas earlier blew in my mind. "New Year" is another one of those. A fine poem without a doubt, and yet the last few stanzas were too simplistic for my taste. Nights is a good poet, and his pieces are direct and to the point. I just wish he'd be more consistent sometimes. My vote goes to Sumi. There are too many reasons really. [/pretending to know shit about poetry]
