Rhymescheme/Flow = Tie. Both had good flow & the same level of complexity w/ their rhymeschemes. So I'll just leave this category a tie.
Vocabulary = Verity. Verity slightly edged this. An extremely close category here.
Topic/Meaning = Edge. I feel Edge related his piece to the picture better. The picture gives the vibe of a bad mother, which he depicted. Verity painted more of a picture that depicts a loving mother. Edge just related to the picture better.
Storytelling/Progression = Verity. Again, an extremely close category, but I feel Verity's plot moved along better, & had more elements in it.
Emotion = Verity. Verity barely edges this category too. I felt Edge delivered good emotion, but Verity's last few lines had such good emotion that it took the category.
Imagery = Tie. Both delivered the same amount of imagery. Verity's ending made me want to lean towards them, but it wasn't really enough to break the tie in this category.
Poetic Techniques = Edge. I think Edge just barely got this category. Neither delivered much w/ poetic techniques, but I think Edge did a little more.
Ending = Verity. Edge came w/ a good ending, but Verity's just came to a conclusion much better. It left you w/ a sense of satisfaction of how the story closed.
Vote = Verity. This was EXTREMELY close! Verity won the majority of the categories though, so the vote goes to them. Great battle to both.
