Round 12

Yusef: "Six Sketches: When a Soul Breaks" by Michael S. Collins

Bob: "Lullaby for Cuckoo" by Tom Clark

Collins' poem has that "ripped from the headlines" quality that Yusef is looking for. Too obvious for my taste, although well enough done on its own terms; quite memorable. Tom Clark's confusing apostrophe to a cuckoo in a clock does not quite convince me, although I do like the lines: "Or was homo faber the missing link / who forged you in his workshop of stupid toys." I'm starting to learn what the Skanky Possum style is all about.

The round goes to Yusef/Collins.

After 12:

Yusef: 3
Bob: 7
Tie: 2
