I vote neither, because they are both hackneyed and dry. I couldn't even finish either of them. |

Both inane and with neither style nor substance. |

The second one. Moved to AC. |
|
The first one's vague. I feel like it just stops short of getting somewhere, each time it tries. |
|
They're both obviously speaking from person experiences, but poet number one is all over the place with his/her thoughts. Like he/she's venting and writing whatever he feels at the moment down. The way it's written, it could work in a song or spoke word, but it doesn't do much on paper. Poet number two stuck to what he was talking about, and was able to put me in perspective to what he was feeling with out being vague. |

Ok. Thanks for the votes and opinions, everyone. #1 has forfeit, due to the way the numbers are looking so far. The poll stays open until the cut-off, though, for anyone else who wants to chime in. |

I'd say skill wise they are both about equal. The reason why number 2 is so clearly better, in my opinion, is because it has real emotion in it. You can honestly tell that this guy is madly in love with his child. Number 1 sounds kind of angsty, like in a couple months he'll realize he didn't really care as much as he thinks he does now. |

They are perhaps more closely-related than you know: Especially on the base level that they both require a level of skill, and someone who respects that level of skill can either be a douche and say "Your piece was so bad, I'm not even going to do it the service of assessing it. You're looking for constructive criticism? Well I can't be bothered by telling you what I think could be fixed. I'm just going to tell you that its garbage, and you need to take a class before you attempt something like "art/poetry" again", or they can say "Well what I think is wrong with it is this..." |

believe it or not, when it comes to anatomy you can always say something. but when a poem is that bad, there's not much you can say, except maybe |

What you lack in graphic skills, you make up for in rhetoric. Way to skirt around my point. I'm sure there are maybe one or two people reading this thread, who might not have caught your side-step. Bravo. |

well, the only thing I have to say is, I sincerely admire you and look forward to shaking your hand at the dv meet. |

If you want to do a better poem, some practical steps towards that might be reading far more poetry, and spending time revising and editing your own work. Being able to scrawl out spontaneous genius is rare as fuck, and especially difficult given a powerful poem tends to have little by way of wasted words. |

I knew that second one was yours. I even imagined you reading it out loud as I was reading it. |
|
I liked the Blu-ray image. He just didn't do anything spectacular with it, so it seemed awkwardly inserted. |

Spilled milk, man. No hard feelings. |

Here are some things I think about when I try to cross that line between rap and poetry. Maybe they'll work for you. |
