This short entry, by Angie Winterbottom, was the most interesting. Her style was fresh and unique, and her use of visual representations in the text are clever. Consider the following excerpt:
($blaze_of_night{moon} == black_hole)

The moon a black hole in the blaze of night
A raven's wing as bright as tin
Then you, my love, would be darker than sin.
