Poetry Duel 17 was won by..."unknown" Jessica Para! Both poems got the same number of votes but Jessica's, on the left, got an average rating of 4.00 while the other poem, on the right, "The Good Man" by Gwendolyn Brooks, got an average rating of 3.67. Jessica has the amazing ability (on Twitter, where I first found her work) to pair a pictures with her poems. I have trouble enough finding one picture but she does it many times each day. Below is an example. The Good Man
The good man. He is still enhancer, renouncer. In the time of detachment, in the time of the vivid heather and affectionate evil, in the time of oral grave grave legalities of hate - all real walks our prime registered reproach and seal. Our successful moral. The good man. Watches our bogus roses, our rank wreath, our love's unreliable cement, the gray jubilees of our demondom. Coherent Counsel! Good man. Require of us our terribly excluded blue. Constrain, repair a ripped, revolted land. Put hand in hand land over. Reprove the abler droughts and manias of the day and a felicity entreat. Love. Complete your pledges, reinforce your aides, renew stance, testament.
