The Poetry Arena (Oriphiel's Collection?)

I've been looking through the "Song Writing, Lyrics and Poetry" forum, and it seems to be very dead. So I figured I may as well try to shake things up a bit. The purpose of this thread is simple: Two people will compete using poetry, whatever style of poetry they choose, with the goal of trying to out-wit or out-class the other. It's a friendly competition, of course, kind of similar to a Rap Battle. This thread is probably going to die penniless and alone, but such is the path of the artist!

So the rules are pretty simple. Each contestant takes turns posting poems asserting why they are better/smarter/stronger/prettier/etc. than their opponent. The match consists of four poems total, two from each contestant. Obviously this is all in good fun, so anything that breaks the rules of conduct won't be tolerated. And yes, you have to actually post poems, or else this thread will very quickly end up in the "Games, Lists, Jokes and Polls" sub-forum. After both contestants are done, the audience (us normal folk on the sidelines) choose a victor.

So... Any brave souls out there who'd like to give it a go?
