WAS THAT FAIR?
WAS THAT FAIR?
A little bird looked at a hawk
whose high respect filled all the sky.
She liked the power that he showed
and hoped to have the force he owned.
The hawk could do all what he liked.
He killed small birds and had good time.
He had sex far from his own nest
where by his wife he'd not be chased.
The little bird stayed near her house.
She saw a male bird near to her.
She had an intercourse with him
not for enjoyment but morale.
Her male saw her and got enraged,
and he at once divorced his wife.
She thought that those who were not strong.
Should keep away from what was wrong.

Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
Yes, it is a tangled mess as what we see in life. Thank you very much, Lozzamus, for your read, like, and very appreciated encouragement.
Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
Besides asking whether one ever has "an" intercourse rather than intercourse, and whether "\
He ... had good time.
is a solecism if you meant to say "he had **A ** good time (doing what he did)" or "he had good times (killing small birds)" and syntactically means that "he timed out well",
what has this piece to do with fairness?

A little bird pooped in my hair
I asked the Father, Was this fair?”.
For I’d just exited the hair salon
and now my “do”
is doodoo gone.
I’d hoped to have
“an” intercourse
with luscious men
down by the river’s source
but all I feel is dark remorse
since seeing what’s above my pate
they’ll find themselves
aroused to a disgusted state
then fly away
and I won’t get
my ego boosting sex today.

"a hawk

What does "high respect" denote? How does it differ from a low respect and how does a thing's respect fill all the sky?

What does this piece have to do with fairness?
How don't you understand HOW, Baldwin? You really surprise me. You are really full of rancor, Baldwin. Please, forget your rancor, and speak seriously. This is poetry. Try to have a clear conscience towards other people's efforts. If you don't believe in God, as it seems to me, don't you have a conscience that should be kept clear?

Re: Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
What is it that I don't understand? That a male hawk gets to make love whenever he wants without consequence (so long as he's not found out), but a small female married (?) bird gets punished by divorce (?) when she has an affair? Even assuming that birds have legal spouses, and go though legal dissolution of marriage for infidelity, what are you saying would make this situation one of fairness? That the female would suffer no consequences when she tries to boost her ego through sex? That the hawk gets divorced for his indiscretions? That the small bird gets as strong as the hawk?
And how on earth does my question about whether or not your text has anything to do with fairness show rancor?

Are you serious? you don't know the meaning of: High respect has filled all the sky. It means all the other birds feared it and respected it. Why do you behave in such a way? The other poets are asking me to ask to block you. Why don't you be sensible. I get a lot of LIKES from renowned poets. All my page is covered with Their LIKES. Please be reasonable, and try to have for once A GOOD HEART AND A CLEAR CONSCIENCE.
Re: Re. WAS THAT FAIR?

What do you mean by "renowned"? And which of the very limited number of people who give you likes are renowned poets?
And as I've shown you before, my page is covered with likes as well. So are you saying that those who give me likes have no clue as to what is good and what isn't when it comes to poetry?
P.S.
Let's see your list of likes. Here again is mine.

"Are you serious? you don't know the meaning of: High respect has filled all the sky. It means all the other birds feared it and respected it. "
Seriously? ALL other birds?
Hawks are afraid of eagles, owls and crows. Eagles prey on hawks as food, they are the number one predator of hawks. Crows and owls pick on and attack hawks for sport.

The implication of this statement is that she also thought that those who are strong don't have any moral obligation or compelling reason to keep away from what is wrong. They have leave to do what is wrong anytime they wish to do so.

What do you mean by all that? Don't you find that all your poems and writings in this group depend on Joseph Zenieh. If J Z is not worthwhile, why do you give him such importance and waste this long time on him?
Re: Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
"Don't you find that all your poems and writings in this group depend on Joseph Zenieh. "
All??? Seriously. ALL?? Besides your thinking far too highly of your self, you must be joking. Of the some 190 pieces I've submitted here, are you seriously claiming that there is not a single one that " doesn't "depend" on you? Does my recent piece on Oedipus depend on you? Does my piece entitled Dreams do so?
How about these listed here? Which if any of them "depends on you? My money is on "few to none". And if so, you are an ego filled prevaricator. And if you wish to readers here that you are not, you'll point out the ones that do. The excuse that you have no time to do so will not be regarded as acceptable. Your claims are either true or they are not. And if you do not show that they are indeed true, you show yourself to be a liar.

Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
30th Jul 2021 7:23pm
How many poems have l written about you and how many poems have you written about me? And as you used the word liar first, please tell the truth and don't be a liar. I said so because l know you are polite and don't use absurd words, or not very polite ones.
Re: Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
How does your implied claim that you have not written as many poems about me as I have written that (1) take up a topic that you have written about or (2) that deal with both the way you write and your claims to be following the style of poets from "the golden age" demonstrate the truth of your egotistic claim that EVERYTHING I've submitted to DUP "depends" on you? Is your claim true? If not, then you have lied.

Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
30th Jul 2021 7:56pm
Do you consider your writing here from"the mid of the second line up to the golden age" clear", and, "High respect", which l used in the last poem is not? How strange!
Re: Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
And here I thought that the issue to be dealt with was not whether I consider a few of my lines in my last posting clear but (1) whether your claim that EVERY submission I've posted to DUP depend on things you've posted and (2) whether you are a liar for saying so.
Is your claim true or not?
I take it from the way you have dodged speaking to that issue -- indeed, from the fact that you have changed the topic and run away from the one at hand -- is an admission on your part that the evidence I produced quite clearly shows your claim for what it is: a narcissistic lie.

Do you consider your writing here from"the mid [sic middle?] of the second line up to the golden age" clear", and, "High respect", which l used in the last poem is not?
Yes, it is not clear. The syntactical implication of your phrase is that "high respect (better "high regard") is something that the hawk has for himself and not something that other birds have for him.

No, "High regard" has no meaning there. It should be"High respect". You don't understand English well, in addition to your grammar misunderstanding. I was surprised at your grammar misunderstanding on several occasions. Despite all that, you want to teach others. How strange, defective and you want to be a teacher!

So is your claim that EVERY submission I've posted to DUP depends on things you've posted true or not?

"No, "High regard" has no meaning there. It should be"High [sic] respect". You don't understand English well,"
I understand it well enough to know that "whose high respect" is reflexive and refers to the respect that the hawk has for himself, not the respect others have for the hawk. You'd need to say "the high respect for him that others have now fills the sky" to actually say what you think you have said.

How do you bring the reflexive meaning to it? Are you speaking seriously, or are you joking?

Re: Re. WAS THAT FAIR?
Why didn't YOU answer my question about whether your claim about ALL of my submissions to DUP being dependent upon you is true -- a question that I asked well before you asked about "the reflexive meaning" as were these"
What is it that I don't understand? That a male hawk gets to make love whenever he wants without consequence (so long as he's not found out), but a small female married (?) bird gets punished by divorce (?) when she has an affair? Even assuming that birds have legal spouses, and go though legal dissolution of marriage for infidelity, what are you saying would make this situation one of fairness? That the female would suffer no consequences when she tries to boost her ego through sex? That the hawk gets divorced for his indiscretions? That the small bird gets as strong as the hawk?
And how on earth does my question about whether or not your text has anything to do with fairness show rancor?
What do you mean by "renowned"? And which of the very limited number of people who give you likes are renowned poets?
And as I've shown you before, my page is covered with likes as well. So are you saying that those who give me likes have no clue as to what is good and what isn't when it comes to poetry?

"Why didn't you answer my last question about "the reflexive meaning?""
For the reason that you often give for not answering questions I ask you to respond directly to -- it was not in my eyes worth answering.
Besides that, you still have questions of mine that I asked you before you posed the question above that you have yet to answer. Why should I extend the courtesy to you of answering your question when you won't extend the same courtesy to me?

Please tell me how and why what I have written below is not something on your stated (but unfulfilled) topic that's an improvement on your piece, however much it's derived from it if, given your expert knowledge of the difference between good an bad poetry, you think it isn't.
And remember -- especially if the reason you might think that my piece is nowhere near as good as yours is that it is something "dependent" on your piece -- what T.S. Eliot said about how **derivation** does not necessarily justify the conclusion that a derived piece has to be inferior to what its source or inspiration is.
“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.”
― T.S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood
A little bird looked at a hawk
whose high respect that other birds
(except for eagles , owls, and crows)
endowed him with,
(though god knows why)
filled all the reaches of the sky
and said,
"Compared with him,
his speed, his strength,
the heights to which he flies,
I wonder who and what am I?
I'm puny and not strong.
And when he has the urge
to mate with others than his wife,
he is not charged by anyone,
as he should be ,
with doing wrong.
Perhaps the secret is to break
one's marriage vows
clandestinely
and mate not just for pleasure
but for ego's sake
within
the hiding foliage of a distant tree
not in the open air.
But still, the fact he gets away
with things like this
and I do not,
just isn't fair."
