one acuity you lame idiot the battles were set on time they are set after 12pm you oppenant has till tonight to check in and i brought 12 people to the league stupid.monday nite as the new rules say try reading them cuz you will be dqed if you break them.as dramqueen said i run the league now for poetry and i need no help on it.a topical piece is a topical pice and not poetry when you state thing like red is the mother black is the father and the blue typing is me no then its not poetry when you do things like stop the pome and describe whats going on its a topical a story now and not a poetic piece anymore so yes its easy to tell a topical from a poem.dizzee poems are based on these elements in this order

1.emotion
2.imagery
3.creativity
4.vocab not big words but the usage of your words the symantics of them

structure is not important nor is flow unless it is a certain style of poetry such as tanka or some shit likewise to it.structure=can you read it not does it flow or lines line up evenly you fucking idiots all structure is is not making run on sentences with no periods and using commas.
lastly black teardrops is a good topic your wack if you cant write to it it can be used as anything from gang warfare to volcanic ash the topic is good because of the vast ways you can approach the topic thats what makes a good poetic topic.
