I was up late, in the wee hours of the morn...
For a friend was crying from a comment of his scorn.

His comments don't bother me I'm not insecure,
But for this girl I felt sorrow for sure.

I had tried for months to get her to post,
for her poems, I adored the most.

She was shy and didn't want to play,
In the ussual Authors way.

But from my persistance, she finally did.
Then she sat crying from what YDD bid.

My temper was raged and emotions were high,
through literotica threads and comments I did fly.

To hunt down this verman and call him outside.
To find out where and why, YDD did hide.

To challenge him to a dual like the proud Samuri...
To look YDD, eye to eye.

For we tend to defend...
our home, our words, our family and our friends.

I called on the wisdom of the Dragon to help me this day,
For he is the wisest and he I obey.

I called on the Tiger to give me some strength,
For my hunt and search will go to great length.

Then there it sat right before my eyes.
The answer to who and where YDD did reside.

Perhaps he didn't hide, he did so much more...
There I found him, he had knocked on my door.

I wasn't wise enough to notice way back when,
But went hunting when my patience was thin.

Now what do I do? Now that I know who he is.
Do I tear him half and in his mouth I will wiz?

The Dragon snickered at my haste.
Said that, "My own wisdom was a waste."

I was confussed at its remark,
the Dragon that does, live in the Dark.

"You wish do do battle with a zen master of pen?"
I said, "Yes," with a curious grin.

The Dragon said,
"You may be able to take ten men apart,
But YDD will win if you battle, the pen is an Art."

To take up the pen and battle till when?
YDD is The zen master of the pen.

"For you leave comments too,"
said the Dragon of blue.

"And are you not a teacher of the Arts?"
"Well yes," I answered with my heart.

"Perhaps YDD is a teacher of words,
and what he is saying is not that absurd."

Do I feel threatened cause I know not a meter,
Or grammer and flow and my words barely tetter.

When we are in a class and the teacher calls us out...
Do we cry, become raged and or pout?

I raised my brow to the wise Dragon of blue.
Perhaps it is YDD, that you should bow to.

For the lessons he teaches, not of just words,
but of the emotions that stirr within you, that are blurred.

"And do you not teach, Honor above all things?"
I knew exactly what the Dragon means.

"Verbal lashings only show your limitations,"
"Put your energys into your creations."

The Dragon of blue,
gave me this wisdom that I share with you...

The Same Difference~
Every living creature on this planet is the same.,.
We have life!
Yet every creature is different...

Every living creature has the same destiny...
Death!
Yet we will all die differently.

Every creature will hunger and thirst
But for different things.

We are all bound to this Earth...
But our ties are different.

We are all like the buds of a rose bush.
We will all bloom at different times.

The rose has its beauty that we wish to see,
but if we get pricked do we not bleed?

But the one thing we will all do the same?
see this world ...differently!

I hung my head in shame!
As I read those words frame for frame.

For the enemy was not YDD,
It was the uncertain me!

I do not write for a vote or for you,
I write for the enjoyment for me and the dragon of blue.

This is an amature forum and literotica's archieve,
This is where enjoyment is felt and strived.

For if it were a profession, I would'nt get posted,
They allow us to play and our words are boasted.

Freedom of speech is a beautifull thing,
Let our words shout out and ring.

YDD will probably say, "This is no poem, it should be a song...
for the words are not correct they are all wrong.

But they come from the heart,
So it is my, literary Art!

For all things in this world there is an opposite,
Good comment or bad, YDD and I are it.

He has his opinion and he is a critic,
I praise all, who write here on lit.

I Bow down to no one, But bow humble to all.
For the lesson I've learned, to YDD I bow to most all.

For the enemy is not, YDD,
but the fact that I let it bother me.

My friend is now happy as can be,
For the Dragon has shown her and me.

Exactly who Ydd is?
For honor I will keep his Identity hid.

You can scorn me and give me a one.
But once I have written my work is done.

I do not write for votes or a rating,
My words are mine, that I am saving.

I've never been known to mumble,
And to all I bow humble~

I wish never to be harsh or mean,
I only ask him one simple thing.

What does YDD mean?
Will he comment and leave me this thing?

One final note...One final thing...
YDD is a Ying Yang!

You gotta be kidding

Comment from YDD

Some unfortunately are misinterpreted because the written word does not convey the subtlety and tone of the spoken.

The reader brings his/her own conceptions and predispositions to the page.

Humor is often missed and beneficial insights rejected.

Hey slick let's just use your own example here.

Misinterpretaion: Ok how did you misinterpret it. The gentleman says in this poem not to worry about your comments. Either take them constructively or blow them off. Don't worry about the personal agenda of the critic.

So why where you unable to heed your own advice?

Why did you choose to misinterpret him?

Ahh this is answered in your next line about predisposition.

Ok I can see as where you must be upset about being told that either you don't matter, or that someone might actually make something constructive out of your comments:]

So I'll let you pass on that one.

That brings us to your final comment about humor.

Humor could best be described as something that's funny, a biting backhanded slap like that one about the quantity of errors isn't funny. Although I might be wrong there. If you find humor in torturing small animals I guess you'd find a comment like that humorous as well:-]

There see a smiley face, wasn't that funny.

By the way I notice in your comment that you seem to have a hard time writing out what your thinking. I'd be happy to pay for you to attend a writing course. Might that help?

I didn't point out the errors in the other poem,

so I won't in this one.

Besides,

there are so many that the author probably created most of them intentionally,

and thus they are not errors. :)

I do wish that you had kept the poem shorter,

I don't know if I am worthy of an Eastern saga as of yet.

I do wish "The Same Difference" had been polished and set in the sun to shine on its own.

If my words have helped you even in the battle of yourself, then I am happy.

My comments are meant to be constructive, never destructive.

Ying yanged

This ying yang is not a 'he,' unlike the Ying Yang Twins of "Whistle While You Twurk" fame. Our ying yang is an obsessive compulsive posting psycho bitch with a major depressive disorder. YDD, go make you a milkshake with liberal dosages of clozapine, risperidone, quetiapine, and ziprasidone.

Mornin Art...

I read this poem as part of the friday reviews. I liked it then and I still like it now. I think that its easy to say oh just tell them to turn off public comments, just tell them to turn off the anon stuff. Are we supposed to sensory our critics now? I believed that this place was where we could share and put things out to those around us and see what comes up. I think that not only are you a wonderful person but a good friend to have wanted to defend the writer. But as the two lines that I copied over into the feedback say... it only bothers us because we let it.
