Dear Bell, 

I am writing this letter hoping that you're doing well

Truth is, I ain't doing good this side, life is hell 

Not much development since the time you casted your spell

Though it doesn't seem like I have much of a base to dwell

What I mean to say is I miss the shit we used to do

its like narcotic addiction the way I am used to you 

like a hangover of emotions that I dont feel anymore

and all those deals ours lips don't seal anymore

all those momemnts that our cameras don't reel anymore

OH MY GOD, its a nightmare cuz I don't dream anymore

I mean alright, I accept I wasn't attractive enough

and our share of patches I accept they were kinda rough

But doesn't every couple go through these kinda stuff?

Am I supposed to believe these hard times bind us tough?

Don't know if its the pain or morphine that made me numb

Please baby just tell me what you feel cuz I feel dumb

Driving me insane, everyday is getting harder to stay collected

knowing these letters are the only things keeping us connected

dissected, blood dripping down my hand, hard to better keep it clean

like U and I are alphabets with so many letters in between

Time is flying through the wind erasing my words or so it seems

I scream at nights cuz all I see is us together in my dreams

How am I supposed to tell you how much I love your stupid things?

Sometimes I try to slash my back hoping they'd grow cupid wings

Stupid things! OM MY GOD! JESUS! These stupid things

I don't think I have much strength left to keep writing

I know that its been a hustle but hope the two of us keep riding

Give my love to lil Ken, I heard he just turned ten?

Hopefully waiting for the reply that I know you'll never send

With Lots of love,

Your Ex

Ben

Battler 31

White Lady  
Her beauty magnetic, the curves of her body majestic
Almost celestial allure, attractive kinetic
I was a skeptic. Eyes closed in disbelief
She called to me, voice eating through these walls of grief
The first time I saw her was just a brief glimpse
Her sitting under the fading light of a weak eclipse
Singing words that twisted up my nervous sense
Lips curve, Wicked how I’ve missed her ever since
Spent weeks traveling, walking on blistered feet
Wishing my ears and her haunting whispers meet
To see my angel reappear under the storm clouds
Lighting crashed twice to place you in the foreground
Hands shaking, as I slowly approached
Coaching myself through the fear of her unknown
Every inch closer, swallow lumps in the throat
Taboo, lust, my infatuation to her ghost
As she sits silent, eyes Dead, Soul missing
Hand placed on her shoulder triggered the visions
Bride missing, Murdered by her husband to be
Felt every blow to the face, throat gripped as I plea
The betrayal she sees as she gasped for a breath
Last beat of her heart as it collapsed in her chest
The fear it left, created this manifestation of death
The most beautiful ugly wrapped in a dress
Broke her grasp, nearly escaped from a fate
Where her agony would be the end of my days
Crazy what misery can attach in its place  
The ghost of a woman whose been frozen in space
To wait. As she claims victims in the shade of the night
For I warn you. . .
Never be tempted by the Lady in White


White Lady - A White Lady is a type of female ghost dressed in all white reportedly seen in rural areas and associated with some local legend of tragedy. While White Lady legends are found in many countries around the world, they are most prominent in parts of the United States, Ireland and Great Britain. Most famous is the lady in white in Rochester New York. Common to many of these legends is the theme of loss of a daughter or betrayal of a husband, boyfriend or fiancé.

I found that you started of your verse very nice. A multi or two could really help the lines but I think you started off your verse beautifuly and it helped alot to set the tone for your story. 

What I mean to say is I miss the shit we used to do

its like narcotic addiction the way I am used to you 

the above bar is a prime example of the times when you dont need complex rhymeschemes and shit to make something sound powerful. Very nice.

the "anymore" part was alright. im not a very big fan of repetitive words even when they make perfect sense. nightmare/dream anymore concept was good.

next four lines had basic rhymeschemes. I wanted some multis in there. your content was nice but i think if you had some multis, shit couldve had been a lot better.
I wasnt feeling the "dumb" line and it felt like a filler to me. 
"letters keeping us connected" bar was nice. not very complex rhymescheme but it had some valuable information ( that helped the story progress) and flowed good. 
im liking the "letters between u and i" concept. it fit perfectly in there. 
ending was nice, wanting a reply even though you know there wont be any. 
3 things I want to say. 

1st. multis are a very important part of writing. they help the shit flow better and make the bars more solid. they also help in keeping the reader engaged. Your rhymescheme was basic which hurt your good concepts. 

2nd. Story wasnt that captivating. you simply told us about your thoughts and how you miss her. I was expecting more. 


3rd. i noticed some filler lines that were way too obvious. for me, even if i write 40 lines verse, i dont even think about it. I dont see how a person can have a filler line in such a brief verses. its fine if you put in a filler line to keep the things going but anything more than that in such a short verse is a waste of space in my oppinion. you can disagree but thats how i feel. 1


battler 31:


fucking beautiful. 

your verse started off very smooth with dope imagery and you kept it throughout the verse. 
i loved the "brief glimpse and weak eclipse" bar and then "blistered feet" bar. Every bar was beautifuly written and was technically very sound. i loved the "ugly wraped in a dress" bar. it ws very solid both content and execution wise. 
i dont have much to say about the verse but how beautifuly it was written. Use of multis made the verse flow even smoother and none of them felt forced. they tied in perfectly. it definetely felt like the content was directing the rhymescheme which resulted in such a dope verse. 
usually, i find complex stories interesting but your verse was technically and content wise so strong that it kept me hooked. dope. 

because of better rhymesches, smooth flow, solid content and beautiful imagery...

Battler 2, doooooppee little twist ending there, really well setup and executed altogether. Mechanics were good, you did slight alterations to schemes which was cool, but some of the transitions between those in particular I was iffy about. Small stuff though. Blood cut on hand content was meh to me, kinda felt out of place. Kinda wanna complain about the U and I line too but I wont. Aside from that the content was really well put together.

Battler 31, first thing I noticed even in the first few lines was that I enjoyed your references and how they created fresh feeling end rhymes. Second thing that stood out was the 'storm clouds/foreground' bar. That was tight. Being critical, and approaching from a voters standpoint, I wasn't a huge fan of the way you transitioned into the twist. I wasn't set up well (or at all) which gave no build up, it was just like a great divide from happy images to negative ones. All in all, if I were to have read this verse on any day I would have enjoyed it, and I did, but I feel that in comparison to your opponent, you didn't create that bang ending and therefore lacked overall appeal to me.

I sincetlry love the picture that this battle used !! ok here we go

VERSE 1 -i thought that your verse was good conceptually. i really really like the ending to me it had that " stan" eminem vibe and it was my favorite part of the verse which is points because that and your closer and usually the ones that you want to stand out the most. :

Give my love to lil Ken, I heard he just turned ten?

Hopefully waiting for the reply that I know you'll never send

With Lots of love,

Your Ex

Ben


but yea super cool. i saw the flow drop in some places though. I liked how the essence of the picture also capturedd

some of the actual physical attributes of the photograph which helped to tie it in nicely. I.E: the concept About how

the concept is based upon her sitting and writing a letter and there she is sitting at a desk. I think that you used some

pretty sick metaphors at times but your multis need some work. overall structure was good  and i thought this was a pretty

solid verse that had some personality and differentness to it. really reminded me of some eminem shit. 

Good Work.


VERSE TWO:


 wow i thought that this verse was extremeley beautiful and serene. the imagery was magnificent and i felt like i was in the picture with this girl. the verse went smooth as fuck without one hitch, there was only one bar wheere the multi did not set well with me but everything else was wonderful. i thought that the concept was super super dope as fuck and i absoloutley loved your ending as well it was wonderful. i think that you were consistent with the theme thorughout and i think that this piece as a whole was executed perfectly. 


FAV BAR:

The ghost of a woman whose been frozen in space
To wait. As she claims victims in the shade of the night
For I warn you. . .

Never be tempted by the Lady in White

this one was a bit hard because they both interpreted the photo so well but i am going to have to say due to the fact that it was overall just a better verse:

MVGT- VERSE 2


and it carried it throughout.

Great story, definitely an emotion everyone here has felt at some point. It was quite well written and clear. Your transitions between rhymes didn't seem to blunt so it did work.

A couple points of critique, when you have lines as long as you did, it gives you lots of room for creativity. I'd love to see this story played out again with more inner rhymes and Multis that flow between bars.

Something I've been taught recently that has helped my writing is to think of the line or what you want to say. Then re work it into a rhyme scheme or structure that flows. Take the staple words on your lines and then write down every other word and phrase and multi you can think of and then apply those to your bars..it'll open your verses to a whole new level

You get points for consistency, structure, story, and clarity

Battler 31

Dope! This rolled off the tongue. Excellent use of minimal words per line. The rhymes and flow was very nice.

Very smart and well placed transitions!
"
I was a skeptic. Eyes closed in disbelief
She called to me, voice eating through these walls of grief
The first time I saw her was just a brief glimpse
Her sitting under the fading light of a weak eclipse"

That transition was so natural, grief->brief glimpse ->eclipse
It didn't even feel like words were paired together just to get a transition but it was meant to be and perfectly fit the story.flow . Nice job

Points awarded for a well written and technical piece. Rhyme schemes, flow and story progression were strong points

MVGT battler 31

Although both stories were compelling, battler 31's piece was much more technical and had a few more advanced rhyme schemes involved.
