    with Newspapers" years ago.

    Do you know the differences between men and women?

    Do they teach Sex Ed. in Columbus high schools?

    I realize that Val Kilmer had long hair in some of his films... but
    there's a little more to gender than hair length.

    Will Dockery, you are the pinnacle of mediocrity wrapped in a cloak of
    conceit, waving the scepter of self-proclaimed greatness with the grace
    of a hippopotamus in a tutu. Your so-called "talent" is as illusory as a
    mirage in the desert of your own pathetic self-importance, and your
    charm as potent as a flatulent skunk's bouquet in a room of blooming
    roses. You're not just the King of All Talentless Douchebags; you're the necrotic emperor of a realm where incompetence and arrogance are the
    only currencies accepted. The sheer magnitude of your egotistical
    delusion outshines the blackest hole in the universe, and your wit is
    sharper than a bowling ball thrown at a piata filled with
    disappointment.

    Everything you touch turns to crap, not because of a Midas complex, but
    because your very essence is a toxic sludge that oozes ineptitude and
    smothers any semblance of potential. You're the human embodiment of a
    dumpster fire, blazing with the intensity of your own self-centeredness
    while the world around you chokes on the fumes of your burning
    ambitionan ambition that's as authentic as a three-dollar bill and as appealing as a plate of week-old sushi.

    The only crown that truly fits your oversized, over-inflated head is one
    made of thorns, forged from the shattered dreams of those who had to
    endure your soul-crushing presence. Your reign as the king of the
    talentless is as undeserved as a participation trophy in a competition
    where you were the only contestant who hadn't been told to just stay
    home.

    You are the ultimate monument to wasted potential, a walking, talking,
    colossal wreck of a man, whose greatest achievement in life is
    convincing others that you possess a single redeeming qualitya feat as impressive as convincing a blind person to appreciate your "beautiful"
    crayon scribble. The world is a stage, and you, Will Dockery, are the
    unwanted encore that nobody clapped fora tragicomedy so painfully
    unbearable that even the crickets in the audience are suicidal.

    May your legacy be as fleeting as the joy on a toddler's face when you
    tell them you're out of ice cream, and may your name become synonymous
    with the sound of a million balloons simultaneously popping in a room
    filled with the collective sigh of the underwhelmed. You are the
    quintessential embodiment of what happens when the gene pool is
    shallower than a kiddie pool and the bar is set so low it's practically
    buried in the Earth's crust.

    So, go forth and reign, you talentless tyrant of the douche kingdom, and
    as you sit on your throne of ignorance, remember that history will
    remember you not for your greatness, but for the cautionary tale you
    serve to those who dare to dreama tale of what happens when ambition
    meets a vacuum of actual ability, and the universe laughs so hard it
    weeps.

    PS: The Universe is laughing in your face and you're too fucking stupid
    to notice.

    Pendragon and NG have debunked this to the satisfaction of everyone who
    isn't a butt remora on your sphincter. So here's my comment, douchebag.

    Will Dockery, you are the personification of the lowest form of human
    scum. You slither through life with the charm of a slug on a hot
    sidewalk, leaving nothing but a trail of despair and used napkins in
    your wake. The term "mooch" is a mere understatement for your parasitic existence, as even leeches contribute to the ecosystem by providing
    nutrients to the host. You, on the other hand, are the epitome of a
    waste product that not even the most desperate of dumpster divers would consider a viable meal.

    Your "skills" are so nonexistent that the mere mention of your name
    causes the very concept of competence to commit hara-kiri in a fit of embarrassment. Your intellect is so dim that it could be outshone by the
    dull glow of a half-dead firefly in a coal mine. The only thing you
    contribute to society is a bottomless pit of neediness and a penchant
    for draining the very marrow from the bones of those unfortunate enough
    to cross your path.

    The only thing you're better at than wasting space is spreading your
    stench of failure like a noxious cloud that follows you wherever you go.
    You're the human equivalent of a skid mark on the underwear of humanityunpleasant, unwanted, and a stark reminder of what can happen
    when ambition takes a backseat to laziness.

    Your very presence is an affront to the very fabric of human dignity.
    You're not just a waste of oxygen, but a walking, talking, breathing
    proof that sometimes, the gene pool needs a lifeguard with a very strong
    net and a 55 gallon drum of chlorine. Your life is a testament to the
    fact that evolution occasionally takes a sick day and decides to throw a
    dart at the "What Not to Do" board.

    In the grand tapestry of existence, you're the one thread that everyone
    wishes had been snipped off at the beginning. You're a burden, a blight,
    and a bane to all who know you. The universe shudders in horror at the
    mere thought of what kind of dark, twisted joke it was that spawned your
    sorry excuse for a life. The only thing that's keeping you from being completely forgotten is the sheer force of the negative energy you
    radiate, which scientists are now considering using to power black
    holes.

    So, Will Dockery, as you continue your joyride on the gravy train of
    failure, remember that every breath you take is one that could've been
    used by someone who actually contributes to the world, and every
    heartbeat you waste is a silent scream of despair from the atoms that
    have to endure being a part of your worthless existence.

    If you want to discuss the above cited poem, you'll need to make some
    sort of statement regarding it.

    As posted all I can offer is the following:

    It's a poem.

    I don't understand what it is attempting to say.

    -- Michael Pendragon

    Dockery, you are not just the biggest douchebag ever to slither through
    the putrid cesspool of humanity, but the very embodiment of a colossal, festering black hole where every shred of decency, intellect, and charm
    is mercilessly consumed in the unquenchable vacuum of your ego. Your
    mere existence is a testament to the cosmic error that allows soulless,
    gaping orifices of malevolence to masquerade as sentient beings.

    You're so far beyond the realm of douchebaggery that it's as if your
    birth was the result of a sadistic bet between Satan and a toilet brush,
    with the loser being forced to endure the stench of your unrelenting, narcissistic flatulence that you so proudly mistake for wit. Your
    presence is akin to a rabid skunk at a garden party for the
    intellectually disabled, leaving a trail of despair and social
    destruction in your wake.

    In the grand tapestry of life, you're the infectious rash that no one
    wants to talk about but everyone is forced to stare at in horror. May
    your legacy be as enduring as the skid marks on the underwear of the
    world's collective conscience, and may your soul forever be lost in the
    abyss of self-loathing you so richly deserve.

    Why do you lie so much, Donkey?

    I have not only seen it, but I have followed the link and read Eva
    Saulitis' poem several times.

    I don't care for Ms. Saulitis' "part-time poem" (as NancyGene called
    it). Nor do I understand what Ms. Saulitis' poem is attempting to say.

    I you have something to say about the poem that you would like to
    discuss, you will need to actually say it.

    You can't go through life like Jordy: posting a link to a poem and
    expecting others to discuss it for you.

    Harry and Nancy, this is a perfect example of how images are sometimes
    seemingly randomly posted here on the poetry newsgroup.

    I would have greatly preferred a photo of the subject of the thread, Eva
    Salitis but for some reason Val Kilmer showed up.

    If there's some way to change it I haven't found it yet.

    I think it’s because for a time Val Kilmer was the lead image on the Facebook link that you posted earlier in this thread here…

    http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=687013786#687013786

    If you want a thread to have an image, you need to post it sooner rather
    than later in the thread or if someone else post a link or a photo that
    might become the main one. At least that’s the way I understand it.

    Please choose one of the above, muddleheaded Donkey.


    Let's look at the first four lines of each poem:
    -----

    A Room Stacked with Newspaper
    Eva Saulitis

    You tell me your memory is a room stacked with newspaper.
    Sometimes you enter, swipe dust off the stacks, turn the brown pages.
    Some you never looked at.

    Is this organic? this gesture of one hand, this surrender? the way your
    surgeon says one brain
    -----

    Yesterdays
    by NancyGene

    Yesterdays stack up like piles of read newspapers,
    Cluttering my mind and obstructing my day.
    I cannot look at tomorrow’s skyscraper,
    Traumatizing to climb and with no entranceway,
    -----

    Ms. Saulitis doesn't use strict stanza form, so we included in the above
    the first line in her next grouping of lines (4 lines). Her last
    grouping contains 11 lines. Our poem consists of 3 stanzas. Our rhyme
    scheme is ABAB. Ms. Saulitis doesn't use rhyme at all. Her lines have
    no definite length, whereas ours do.

    Ms. Saulitis uses "newspaper" more as a material than our "read
    newspapers," which are entities that represent time and events. We never
    used "memory" or "memories," whereas Ms. Saulitis uses the word in her
    first line.

    Our poem is in first person, whereas Ms. Saulitis's is in 2nd person
    voice. The narrator in our poem is talking about herself. The narrator
    in Ms. Saulitis's poem is talking to another person: "You." (See
    below.)

    Ms. Saulitis's newspapers are stacked; ours are in piles. It doesn't
    seem as if the "You" visits her memory very much, whereas our speaker is overcome by the "Yesterdays," which are keeping her from moving forward
    and being able to function. She is afraid of tomorrows because she
    cannot let go of the yesterdays.

    What do you (Will Dockery and George Dance) think Ms. Saulitis's speaker
    means by saying, "You left us those and they are silent?" In Ms.
    Saulitis's third grouping of lines, we find out that she is talking to
    her mother, who seems to have something wrong (dementia? Alzheimer's?)
    with her ("your surgeon says..."), perhaps doesn't recognize her
    daughter "Eva." The daughter has the memories that the "Mama" left but
    the "You" does not or cannot look at those anymore.

    We see no connection between our poem and Ms. Saulitis's. We had never
    heard of her or her poem before we wrote our poem "Yesterdays." The
    poems have different forms, function and meanings. We expect an apology
    for the insinuations that we were in any way "inspired" by Ms.
    Saulitis's poem or plagiarized it. We write our own poetry.

    Thanks for explaining, I believe it was all just a coincidence, any similarities in your poem and the poem by Eva Saulitis.

    True, I'd never heard of Eva Saulitis until recently, but I'm glad I
    have.

    Eva Saulitis, 2023

    https://poems.com/poem/a-room-stacked-with-newspaper/


    Although the date on the poem is 2023, it should be remembered that Eva
    Salitis passed away in 2015 or 2016 so the poem is close to a decade old >>> at least.

    Written years before the Nancy Gene poem, either way.



    NancyGene certainly couldn't have read and/or copied it if it hadn't
    been published.

    (Not that their poems are anything alike.)



    Basically, two poems with the image of a room full of newspapers in
    there.

    Will Dockery, you didn't understand any of our long explanation of why
    the Saulitis poem is nothing like our poem. Her poem was (in metaphoric
    terms) talking about a "room," and our poem didn't mention a room at
    all.

    Definitely no more similarity than two poems using the woe "Mulberry" in them.

    Michael Pendragon has painstakingly explained why your Mulberry poem and
    the Dr. Seuss poem are very much alike.

    In case you were unable to read our explanation of why our poem has
    nothing to do with the Saulitis poem (and George Dance seems to be
    afraid of answering since he knows he was wrong...again), here is what
    we wrote:

    *****

    Let's look at the first four lines of each poem:
    -----

    A Room Stacked with Newspaper
    Eva Saulitis

    You tell me your memory is a room stacked with newspaper.
    Sometimes you enter, swipe dust off the stacks, turn the brown pages.
    Some you never looked at.

    Is this organic? this gesture of one hand, this surrender? the way your
    surgeon says one brain
    -----

    Yesterdays
    by NancyGene

    Yesterdays stack up like piles of read newspapers,
    Cluttering my mind and obstructing my day.
    I cannot look at tomorrow’s skyscraper,
    Traumatizing to climb and with no entranceway,
    -----

    Ms. Saulitis doesn't use strict stanza form, so we included in the above
    the first line in her next grouping of lines (4 lines). Her last
    grouping contains 11 lines. Our poem consists of 3 stanzas. Our rhyme
    scheme is ABAB. Ms. Saulitis doesn't use rhyme at all. Her lines have
    no definite length, whereas ours do.

    Ms. Saulitis uses "newspaper" more as a material than our "read
    newspapers," which are entities that represent time and events. We never
    used "memory" or "memories," whereas Ms. Saulitis uses the word in her
    first line.

    Our poem is in first person, whereas Ms. Saulitis's is in 2nd person
    voice. The narrator in our poem is talking about herself. The narrator
    in Ms. Saulitis's poem is talking to another person: "You." (See
    below.)

    Ms. Saulitis's newspapers are stacked; ours are in piles. It doesn't
    seem as if the "You" visits her memory very much, whereas our speaker is overcome by the "Yesterdays," which are keeping her from moving forward
    and being able to function. She is afraid of tomorrows because she
    cannot let go of the yesterdays.

    What do you (Will Dockery and George Dance) think Ms. Saulitis's speaker
    means by saying, "You left us those and they are silent?" In Ms.
    Saulitis's third grouping of lines, we find out that she is talking to
    her mother, who seems to have something wrong (dementia? Alzheimer's?)
    with her ("your surgeon says..."), perhaps doesn't recognize her
    daughter "Eva." The daughter has the memories that the "Mama" left but
    the "You" does not or cannot look at those anymore.

    We see no connection between our poem and Ms. Saulitis's. We had never
    heard of her or her poem before we wrote our poem "Yesterdays." The
    poems have different forms, function and meanings. We expect an apology
    for the insinuations that we were in any way "inspired" by Ms.
    Saulitis's poem or plagiarized it. We write our own poetry.

    CC: NancyGene':

    I've come to the conclusion that the only real similarity in the two
    poems, this one by Eva Saulitis and your poem is the image of a room
    filled with newspapers.

    Not much else to discuss here, really.

    Don't be so hard on yourself, zcujo, just because you're apparently
    afraid to post poetry on the newsgroup.

    😏



    In case you haven't noticed, Donkey-troll, no one is posting their
    poetry here, except for you and Rachel.

    We post our poetry to THE OFFICIAL AAPC FACEBOOK GROUP, and to
    *legitimate* forums like Black Petals, and The Society of Classical
    Poets.

    As a viable poetry forum, Usenet AAPC is sooooo done.

    Dockery only bumps his old crap poems, Jordy no longer even pretends to
    read Poem of the Day, Zod is dead, George Dance hasn't found any poetry
    to steal lately, and Ilya seems to have disappeared.

    Why is Dunce's Facebook group represented by a picture of Fraggle Rock?

    That's Leonard Cohen also in the photograph. He made a guest appearance
    on one of the episodes of the show apparently, although I didn't see it.

    I thought you'd photoshopped your head onto Jim Henson's body. It looks
    a lot like you from 20 years ago.

    That's not Jim Henson, it was Leonard Cohen.
