Ludic yet lucid drops linger like gorgonzola on the fingers
Truth is felt and delivered leaving thought controllers all bewildered
Spit 'em on a dictaphone that punctuates the status quo
and splinters the vociferous public hate the snakes evoke
The natives spoke their thanks and rode their rickshaws into sunsets
Faintly blowing back that whiff of ignorance that some shed
I love them in the sense their minds are my refinery
Absorbent of ideas, fears and missing points entirely
Reading their anxieties like aeromancy, hope for new pleas
Ideas packing poem power flower then go kerflooey

This was real nice man, super smooth & similar to Rutter in how you integrated the words seamlessly into your verse. Not like anything stood out awkwardly, which is impressive. I was also impressed by how easy it seemed for you, like no point did you seem like it was a struggle...everything came together really well in this verse. I even liked that imagery of "rode their rickshaws into sunsets", think I just appreciated that you seemed to treat this as "how do I create images/lines of god quality" rather than "how do I make this awkward words prominent in my verse", that's really classy and I enjoyed that subtlety. The closer was also cool in how you sprinkled a bit of panache in there with the alliteration into assonance into rhyme, was super slick and a real nice way to close it. I enjoy enjoyed the simile at the start "linger like Gorgonzola on the fingers", similar to my earlier point but the subtlety with the technical combination, really impressive stuff without being in your face.

Really managed to get your style across here...which is testament to the quality, excellent work.

THIS. That really is what summed it up for me. That sunsets line was real nice imagery. I enjoyed the calm effect that I felt when reading it. It did come off as effortless. Flow was nice, the refinery/entirely line really was so smooth. I thought this was a nice piece.
