What do the movie titles “Alien vs. Predator,” “King Kong vs. Godzilla,” “Freddy vs. Jason,” “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” and “Joe vs. the Volcano” have in common? The “vs” or short form of “versus.” Interestingly, from early usage, the word “verse” also described struggles, difficulties overcome. Some of the greatest poems are about wars and battles. The Iliad for example, an epic poem written in the 8th century B.C. Some of the most well-known verses are from the Bible and describe battles and struggles. “Versus to Verses” is dedicated to expressing struggles and experiences through poetry, and prose. It is where I seek to share my stories, thoughts and reflections, and to inspire others to overcome by writing, not fighting.
