This was so weird.. I read soulstice's verse about 4 times to fully absorb everything. I understand, but then I don't in relation to the picture. I will say, a desert doesn't have to be sand, there are deserts in the Tundra, it usually relates to how dry it is.

But given that, you mentioned, pools, and streams, and downstream, and styx. Generally, this image would be in a cold setting, and the walls you spoke of, don't have to be something so remedial as split said. It could have been the panaroma of the picture, or the trees on the side, and the north to south thing was a little off kilter, and it sorta just threw everything off, but even with what I said, I tried to look at a metaphorical mean for the whole thing, but could just pull out something barely there, and it was hard for me to digest, really. With such content and context, the picture didn't seem to relate to me, and even if it did for you, your job was to provide the best verse in relation to the verse, even if it's complex, it can't be so far-fetched and almost 'wrong' in the eyes of the readers that it is just completely seen as a lazy verse. Which this was not...because you provided insight on something i can't even comprehend (based on what was given) which threw me off, because the topic didn't seem as empirical as what you inscribed.

Uh oh provided a very simple verse, almost too simple, and I actually read his first, then soulstices, in which I said "why would uh oh post something against a high seed opponent? (my thinking into this battle was that soulstice would provide something of very high caliber and relation to the topic at hand) but when I reread both verse, I understood, uh-oh coupled in a few nice lines, and was actually thought provoking, now every verse doesn't have to be thought provoking, but they could cater to a side of your brain that is satiated, based on the topic, whether it be humor, creativity, or both, or on an emotional seed. uh-ohs provided just a comfortable amount of ease, and I felt I could repeat some of his lines and be satisfied. The warm line had me, and is very quotable. Almost at means with the topic, and a BIT thought provoking, very quick, smooth verse, rough around the edges as previously mentioned, but honestly, and shockingly...enough to get my casted vote. Good job uh oh. Thanks guys. :)
