Round Four
Yusef: "Some Further Words" by Wendell Berry
Bob: "12 [squared]" by Charles Bernstein
I'm sure Charles would agree with many of Wendell's fine sentiments. Bernstein's twelve haiku-like fragments, separated by horizontal lines, include this faux-Creeley poem:
counting now to five
next to three
then up till four
Berstein underwhelming poem wins, but only because Berry's poem is extremely weak, depending too much on an expectation of right-thinking agreement. Imagine a poem written in the same mostly uninteresting language, but espousing right-wing, anti-environmental sentiments.
Score after four rounds:
Yusef: 1
Bob 2
Tie: 1
