    Lost In The Valley Of Sins

    this is my 1st round SS playoffs battle against Laureate, in which I progressed to the next round, it has been called 'The second best peice in SS this week'.......but I want to know your opinion.

    Lost In The Valley Of Sins

    *A story of a fantasy land
    that no-one wants to fantasize about*


    My pain, disguised by a mandatory grin
    Stays within, and eats me alive inside
    Plucking on my heart strings, attempting escapism
    Delimited by pessimism, my brain collapses
    And subsides, my inner child has been lost
    Riposte, engulfs my soul, I am a shell of a man
    Tanned, by great holidays, and life in the sun
    Attempting to run, all I can administer is a crawl
    I fall, emphatically , on the unyielding wooden floor
    Collide with the door, and descend in to a sonorous slumber

    *drifting gently away to another world*

    Alone in wonderland, my passage unfolds before me
    As spiralling wind, captures me, and drowns my screams
    hurls me from side to side, as I struggle for liberation
    Thunder strikes, as my plight, is momentarily hastened
    Released from the clutches, of the mighty gale
    My pale, and drained cadaver, falls flaccidly to the ground
    Dumfound, I stare at my surrounding, and gasp
    For at last, I have found where I belong, my institution
    Grimy and tedious , the land tells a tale of woe

    *He moves forward in this land*

    The scarlet sun is setting on the lacklustre horizon
    Sandy valleys stretch, as far as the eye can see
    Bodies lay scattered, most deceased and the others dying
    On a necklace, around a soldier’s décolletage, is a plea
    With eyes full of distress, but also of abominate
    The soldier lays parched , clutching to his concluding breath
    As I apprehend, I have been brought to a world of hate
    I jump with anxiety, when out of nowhere the warrior says
    ‘take this plea , flee from me, for you don’t want to see
    The final fight, our final plight, will occur this very night’
    With this said, he fell unconscious, forever departed
    And almost as if it was a indicate, the final conflict started


    *horrified, he hides and stares at the scenc unfolding*

    A line of skeletons, paved the top of the uppermost valley
    Armed with weaponry, of the type I have never seen
    Thousands upon thousands of warriors, too many to tally
    And standing, in front of the immense congregate, their queen
    With a torturous scream, and a cursory hand motion
    She sent her men, to obliterate this unholy terrain
    And almost as though it had been enchanted my magic potion
    The fading land, let out a mournful wail, full of pain
    Flickering fire consumed all the land, and killed it within


    *finally he realises, there's no place like home*

    Lost in the valley of sins, surrounded by conflagration
    I wail in despair, I don’t want to see any more
    My conscience, finally recognizes my peaked impatience
    As I wake up, back on my wooden floor
    Against the door

    this was a great peice I was so in tune into this peice the wordplay was just awsome and rhyme scheme was just so nice vocab was also going well with this and my favorite lines were:

    A line of skeletons, paved the top of the uppermost valley
    Armed with weaponry, of the type I have never seen
    Thousands upon thousands of warriors, too many to tally
    And standing, in front of the immense congregate, their queen
    With a torturous scream, and a cursory hand motion
    She sent her men, to obliterate this unholy terrain
    And almost as though it had been enchanted my magic potion
    The fading land, let out a mournful wail, full of pain
    Flickering fire consumed all the land, and killed it within


    that was very imaginary had me see it right in front of my eyes nice work Witness keep it up

    hit it.. its poetry.

    lezee.. well the vocabulary was good, but the way it made it flow was making it seem like a poetry piece, as well as the rhyme scheme. I understand that most poet-typs these days try and write stuff with a very vague rhyme scheme, but it doesnt help to add in more complex stuff.. the concept was good and as it progressed it got more complex and interesting, which was probobly the high point of this piece. the description with the more advanced vocabulary is also a good way to spice up a piece... good job. hit up da linkage

    I read this shorty before you pmed me. . The structre is dope. I like it alot. And the wordplay is very mature. The flow went well bu the rhyme skeme was predictable.The imagenary was perfected to a well done limit. The Creativty was well done as well . I felt the story line was more poetic. I had this whole peace inside my head. That is very good for the creator of the peice to do. Leave a movie in the readers head. I liked this peice but feel that although it was very well done. It it not HoF worthy sorry. 9-10

    A very interesting piece and written to a very high standard. I liked the flow but it was more of a spoken out loud word by word one. Nothing wrogn with that it touches onto the poetic side but then so do topicals. There is a vauge and thin line between em. I liked the imagery. The metaphores were great and the descriptive words were all in place. I wouldn't doubt this being one of the best pieces in SS, i believe yours and Lauretes battle would be interesting.
    Lastly, all i can say is that with this piece you have shown that you have evolved into one heelof a writer lol...Stay up and keep em poppin'
    Kiss me through the camera lens.

    If this is the second best verse this week in SS, then the qaulity had dropped a bunch or the league was plaggued by no shows.

    Ok, I see where you were going with this verse, but I don' think you took us along. I continually fell off here, from awkward choice of wording to using words completly out of context. Such as your congragate line, should be congregation as the line reads. I found this type of thing in a few spots, and each time I see that, it looks as if the writer is forcing words he doesnt know how to use or is oen of those dictinary whores. I'm not saying either is the case here, I'm just saying that is how I feel when I come across the issue. I don;t think you applied yourself here in regards to detial, there were too many errors, so I'm thinking you rushed this or didnt proof read it. Outside of the obvious nails on chalkboards mistakes, this was ok. I liked the direction, but I just wish you could have pulled it of slightly better than you did. The naration kind of conflicted from the voice of the verse. First party/thrid party didn't seem to fit right here, that is more of an advanced issue eitherway, from the looks of things, you have a while before you have to tackle that beast. I enjoyed the format, and in a few spots I liked the scheme, although you didn;t use it to your best advantage, as your meter feel off more than not. The parts you did well, we just that, done well, but you didn't carry it far enough, or often enough. It was spurts of flow, but nothing pace or cadience setting. That comes with practice and better word choice.

    You have some things to work on my man, but the elevation is evident and I can see you are headed in the right direction, but this was a long ways from SS best of material, long ways...

    I liked how you tried to tackle the end/start rhyme scheme, but you didn't continue it for the right amount of lines or blend it well with another scheme for it really to wrok here. None the less, nice attempt, just carry those multi strings out further...

    no problem...

    If you need any in depth help, please don't hesitate to ask man. You are at the level that I can really help in terms of getting over that hump. Right now would be the best time to tighten up some components and introduce you to others. So, like I said, don;t be shy. I might not have all the time in the world, but there are some things that can be useful to you that I could point out.

    Just don;t force anything at this point, that is what seperates the truely dope heads from those that never really make over to that side...
