Battles up Monday - Check In by Wednesday - Drop by Friday - Votes by Sunday

No line limit and the battler with most votes by Sunday night is the winner. If this is a topical battle, write a topical and not a poetic drop and the same is vice a versa.

All Battlers must vote on 4 other battles and leave their voting links in their battle thread. Battles voted on may be from either poetry or topical battles. If vote threads aren't in your battle thread by sunday you will suffer a loss by Disqualification.

Extensions must be asked for by Thursday night by pming any of the mods (Acuity, Drama Queen & Elementality). No extensions will be given 4 if asked 4 on Friday night. Extensions are only given till Sunday night at the most. If you dont ask for an extention, and drop whenever you feel like it you will be Disqualified. Do not abuse extentions, they are not to be used if you're just too lazy to drop within the confines of the circumstances. Leave reasonable explanation for your absense. If the League notices you are a slacker due to this nature you will be banned for being out-right slothfully callous.

Every battler must nominate (not their own) one topical and poetry battle for pieces of the week, in the main forum. People with pieces of the week shall have their drops stickied and placed in the Pieces Of Inspiration sub forum

Don't ho-show because you will be banned if you do it twice. We can understand you cannot drop due to certain circumstances but if this happens a second time, you're banned from the league for 2 weeks. If you signed up for both leagues and you no-show in one league twice, you will be banned in both leagues!

Try to limit the freeposts, we will have a chat/beef thread for that. Also give fully explained votes, if not your votes won't count!


TOPIC:
Second Chance

My hands were still clamped in prayer as I let go
Dancing dice with white dresses stained with black holes
They needed patching, as well as my damned soul

Was the black cloth what I was searching for
With religion to sew the deeds my morals wore
A holy seamstress hesitated to tend to my snags
Pages of the bible stapled to my barbaric rags
But as I took each step, His word peeled off
As if he was christening the very path I walked

But No…

I dared to look behind, and see the pages disappear
Cowering in the cracks, crumpled out of fear

What does this mean…

Hands pressed in prayer, wind stripping me of spirituality
I prayed to be haunted, Holy Spirit grace my morality

My hands were still clamped in prayer as I let go
Dancing dice with white dresses stained with black holes

Denied a second chance at life, denied his affection

One page remained…

Ripping off the page, in frustration of rejection
Eyeing one word, a second chance at life, resurrection

I never saw the dice touch the floor.
