[h1]Welcome to the Voting and Feedback round for MFP#4![/h1]

[b]Voting and Feedback guidelines[/b]
[list]
[*]Please take your time to read through all the entries before voting for your favourite work. The reasons you base your vote on are up to you, as long the vote isn’t based on whether or not you like the author. 
It would be nice if you could share why you voted for a specific work. 
[*]Giving feedback is optional but highly encouraged. When giving feedback you should be [b]respectful[/b] and [b]constructive[/b]. It’s good to point out any flaws or the things you feel could be improved or why you didn't like something, but don’t be mean. 
Make sure to point out what you liked or what appreciated in the entry too.
[*]Contestant may (and are encouraged to) vote and/or give feedback for the other entries but shouldn’t vote for their own entry. If contestants wish to withhold a vote and only give feedback, that is good too.
[*]The entries are anonymous unless the writer asked for having their name added. That being said, writers may claim their work at any time during or after the voting period. 
[*]The entry with the most votes will win, but in case of a tie a Contest Mod will cast the tie-breaker vote.
[*] You can vote for entries and post your feedback in this thread, but if you rather have your vote and/or feedback be anonymous you can PM it to [@Calle].
[*]The voting period deadline is March 2nd, 9:00 CET, which is 8:00 game time (both times are in a.m.).

[h1]The Entries[/h1]


[hider=The Pride of the Ox or Stolen Oxygen or Lament for a Friend]

The Pride of the Ox or 		Stolen Oxygen or 	Lament for a Friend   

From a burning fire			Busy bar			It’s not you
Came the edge of ire		Gaz’d too far		It’s me
As I stepped up			To foe unfound	I don’t love you
Irascible and froth’d			Stood my ground	I never did

Raising fists scarred 		Girl’s scared		We’re not meant
Shouts of anger 			Rais’d hackles		To be we’re only
Awash in liquid courage		Drunkard sop		Kids
Scourged a-purple			Made to stop		You’ll find someone

Unmoved from spittle		Gleaming fist		Special and sweet
Whipped a cut so clean		Slipped my wrist	I hope you meet
Jugular spilt a spew		What’d he do?		We’ll be friends
Bloody good head			[i]hurk[/i]				I hope

The pint pour’d high		Oh God			Please don’t cry
Crimson cast light			I need help		I’ll never forget
On stern brows furrow’d		Can’t breathe		Our walks in the 
Sunder’d form fled			Need some air		Park and the ranch

Sirens rang				Sky?			Our favourite branch
I sang					It’s black			We watched them
Gruesome horns			I’ll be fine			Graze many days
Gripp’d his neck			I’m on my back	Sun soaking skin

Relentless				….				You pulled too hard
Brave					….				Ripp’d too deep
Never weak				….				My heart you’ll never keep
Oxen horns never break		….				Stubborn still, I weep

[hider=Dew]
Yay to the land,

Over the bluff of grass,

There was an Ox name Fitzgerald,

Every time it rained, 

And every time it thundered,

Fitzgerald tamed the land, with a munch, munch, munch.

[hider=Haiku for the Ox]
ox under the yoke
burdened by many sorrows
ploughs for a new spring
