Word-Slinger Duel
dawn dual duel
two <> poets
a face-off <> duel joust
free verse <> rhyme verse
a modernist <> traditionalist
mull and muse <> tell it true
prompt a reaction <> lay it out there
lover of words, jarring <> lover of pattern, rhyming
readers response individual <> readers all delight alike
anything goes on loose lines <> strict punctuation and meter
memories jogged and jangled <> memories lovingly recalled
stark and confronting language <> beautiful nice melodious words
leaves reader's questions unanswered <> readers cherish the poems like songs
10 free steps <> 10 syllables
bang <> bang
both <> dead
duel <> done
babel babble
