Round 4: Vegan

To play with the words
Or use the words as a play?
I think Vegan won

This round featured extremely difficult and technical challenges. Vegan was faced with the task of writing two haiku using the same words in different order with different meanings. I think he handled the challenge in the creative manner to which we have become accustomed. Both blows packed punch.

In B1's challenge, he needed to use an anagram of his first line somewhere else in the remaining lines. He handled this well and in context. His major blow came in theatrical form with a lead-in haiku and a roundhouse in the form of a play.

Although B1 made the Bard proud, Vegan overcame a bigger challenge to deliver the goods.

Again, my opinions are my own and the other judges may have more to say about round 4.
