Well I have been really busy, so here it is. Yes it's a personal view.

Elemental Souls | Entwined Spirits

What kind of hero is…

Such a hero that he will be martyred for truth
Especially when nobody’s smarter than you?
Majestic clouds shroud the cardboard noons
And life is left holding a paper mache noose
I am eternally grateful to he who never rests
He loves the person I am; we’ve never met
I summon him from a ring given from a book
That I read when I was hanging on by a hook
His power beats the ring; strength in numbers
I’ve seen the ring used by quite a few others
Never used since we have the will to choose
Dead to begin it, we have nothing still to lose
So feel these bonds break, then snap and fall
And find out this hero isn’t even a man at all

...prayer

I can’t do the walk
if I can’t do the talk,
I can’t be His friend
if this is just pretend


With these powers combined…

The air is splendor even to careless vendors
Who render unconscious before they remember
Share tender love without the kiss of sunshine
Then never pull back on the perfection of life
Directed by might when within a trial of fear
Luke-warm heart as it comes from our tears
But the waters are cold; be cautious and wait
The flaming tongues of devils taught us to hate
As fire is growing, the amount of plants follows
The shrubs and the trees’ll both get swallowed
It’s a symbol for life, and how we’ve started
To not care about much; humanity’s heartless
So bring heart to the one you love and cherish it
You were given a finger to show marriage with
Dare to wish, that your life will expand quickly
Let Him control since he has your plan simply
Nah, give up Mariah, you’re probably just nothing
And truly, these roads may get rocky or bumpy
As my body’s worth nothing, but parts of this dirt
Heavenly lips speak pride to the Salt of the Earth

…God is Justified

v/ Mariah

Reason: better overall verse. I'm not going to break this down hard, but she did have the flow and the meaning and emotion, so pretty much, she edged this one off. See you next week mariah!

v/ fame.

Mariah, you're excellent for your age. It's clear that you have all the tools to be a good writer. Your structure is good, flow's good, vocab's not bad.. etc.. infact... i'd even say how you wrote your piece was better than famez.

The thing is... Fames' pieces have a greater level of maturity about them. It doesn't take picture perfect structure and rhyme to make a great piece in my opinion. It takes the ability to tell a story while painting a mental image and keeping the reader intrigued. Your piece just kinda seemed to drone on in my opinion. Try using more describing words and incorporating the five senses into your next piece.

Nice drop fame.

I definitely disagree with Pious..

Mariah's style is just more poetic. While Faime is using description of events and feelings and stuff of a story, Mariah is using solid imagery of a different kind to create the picture in the reader's head. It doesn't clearly describe events and shit, it is abstract, and I believe it makes for a better transmission of emotion. Her words are more condensed and have more meaning.

eg "Majestic clouds shroud the cardboard noons
And life is left holding a paper mache noose"

It's not like clouds are actually shrouding noons made of cardboard or life is somehow holding a paper mache noose. You said her verse seemed to drone on, but I think it was more interesting to read than a retelling of events that rhymes. Not that I'm saying Faime's verse was bad, it was good shit, Mariah's simply appealed to me more.

V/ Mariah

Reply To TerumotoNot Swaying)


Okay, I understand what you mean. But that "retelling the events" is what I think a topical is. Because when I write to a topic, I'm just giving a point of view of what that topic could mean.

For example: A Man's Determination- my whole piece is telling the story about "A Man's Determination". With topicals, I'm a storyteller. That's just me...


But I'm not swaying, good job Mariah. I didn't know you were so young. I'm young too(15 years old.) You got talent for real.
