Voted for Crusible. His ability to describe the mundanely bleak is probably the most understated gift I've ever seen in a poet.
Thanks! I possibly fist pumped when I read this.
Voted for "Product of Environment" and "Chicken Scratch"
Product: I liked the way the words flow in this one. I don't usually like the "butterfly / flutter by" rhyme, but it's used in a distainful/dismissive sort of way in this poem which makes me like it.
Chicken: I like the aliteration going on in this one. And I enjoy "Pen-trails".

sometimes prolific
sometimes a neuter
Voted for Crusible, for much of the same reason Zelderex did. Very mundane, very bleak in a way.
I dig it, not every poem needs to have a deep and complex message, and I think this poem really has that grip.
Good stuff.

Thanks man, and yeah, that was what I was really going for. Just a little bit of disdain for nature imagery, something that I have struggled with as a poet personally.
I liked the untitled poem the best this week, I really liked how he said what I think he was saying with it. I also voted for Zelderex because I connected with the poem... it is how I feel a lot of the time.
LuckNorris managed to make me sour for a few seconds so I'll give him that much credit, haha.
Didn't really like this round for whatever reason. Voted for poems and stuff.

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
