I was happy and knew it... then I joined MX
silenceevolves - I wrote a good crit but lost it. Basically good, but tighten it up. Certain lines I disliked very much. 3
[b]Dancin

fuck

I went in to edit my votes and accidentally deleted most of them. In the end it was to give Sonnet 2nd and ATC 1st. Those are the top two right now anyway. I think I gave Lowridenn 3rd.

*clap*

silenceevolves - 3This has a lot of potential. Ideas go unexplored sometimes but its pretty good. ps: what is adumbration? I refuse to feel stupid for not knowing that.
Dancin’ Man - 2. This is your best in quite awhile. The industrial feel is captured quite well.
A Perfect Sonnet -5. I'm torn between genuinely loving some of this and hating other parts.
Lowridenn -11. Didn't quite jump out at me though its not a bad job at all. Just seemed like a collage of a lot of songs.
xKONRADx - 8. I like the puns and the catchiness in this though as words on a page, the repitition was too immediate.
RunAmokRampant - 6. You really must experiment with line length a little more. On first read, its hard to get through your work though I end up liking it after.
Broken String- 13. I don't doubt it working musically, but the lyrics feel like an afterthought. Also, the phrase public enemy is jarring to me.
Disco Dragon -4. Overrhymed in parts. Decent otherwise.
TojesDoLan- 12. You need to focus. You're reaching on this one. Also, not every line must be a sentence by itself. Taking out 'to' and 'and' and similar words is allowed if it helps flow.
Crimsonpunk - 14. You wrote a mediocre song and had the gall to announce it as a 15 minute attempt. Self-deprecation or arrogance, whatever it may be, it makes me judge you harshly. The imagery is hackneyed and the theme has been explored far too much in any case.
ATC - L'etat. C'est moi.
ITRIEDVOODOOONCE - 10. I shall get back to you. This score subject to change.
StuP - 9. This, again, has potential. I'd like this a lot more without stanza 2.
LeeRoberts - 7. I like the simple connection I can feel with this.
Benjamin Lee South - 1. The title isn't all that. However, the poem is awesome. A wee bit of tightening and it's magical.

silenceevolves - 8. I am not sure as to what I think of this.
Dancin’ Man - 2. You, my friend........are very talented.
A Perfect Sonnet -3. I do believe this is beautiful.
Lowridenn - 7 Not so bad, but not my forte. Some of it is just a beautiful portrayal of nostalgia, and some is just blah.
xKONRADx - 5 Great. Aside from the "cha" slang.
RunAmokRampant -4 Very good job.
Broken String- 14 I do not dig.
Disco Dragon -12 This rhyme scheme is sketchy. It kind of destroyed it for me. You shouldn't rhyme, unless you know you can rhyme well.
TojesDoLan- 10 Not the worst, not the best.
Crimsonpunk - 13 This is either a failed attempt at a death metal song, or.........I do not even know.
ATC - 1. This sort of writing is rare. It brings me to a better place, knowing someone can write so well.
ITRIEDVOODOOONCE -11 I like the idea you're getting at, well......the lyrics are a little too mediocre.
StuP - 6 This is not bad at all. I would like to aknowledge, that this has potential for greatness.
LeeRoberts - 9. Again, the rhyming isn't amazing. Other than that, it's a good one.

Dancin’ Man -1 I really like the concepts you used.
A Perfect Sonnet 4 It is like a fairy tail or something in someones mind, it was interesting.
Lowridenn - 12 It felt to me like you were trying to write this, just didn't flow for me.
xKONRADx -2 That was great.
RunAmokRampant -8
Broken String -3
TojesDoLan -9
