Through a Glass Brightly

You really prove my viewpoint, Baldwin. You have no genuine poetry, and you are not a poet. You wait for me to write a poem. You steal the idea, and you write a terrible imitation of my poem. You don't have your poetic adeas, and you wait for me to give you these ideas, and then you claim that you don't like my poetry to give yourself a good rsason to imitate me. Nearly, all your writings are imitation of mine. Isn't that a good reason to make me believe that you admire my poetry and are jealous of me, and you have grudges because you can't write something original like mine.

Do you really think your poetry is original?  
 
In any case,  you've made this self-aggrandizing claim about how nearly **all** my submissions to DUP are "imitation [SIC imitations?]" of yours.  But when I asked you to back it up -- and prove that you were not both a braggart and a liar -- you never did so.  
 
Could it be because you know that your claim is an utterly false one?  
 
So I ask again.  And to help you in this,  I list below the titles of everting I've submitted to DUP so far so that you can finally do what you tend not to do  when pressed about the accuracy and the truth of  things you say-- i.e.,  back up with actual and indisputable evidence that supports the validity of the claims you make.  
 
Tell me which of  the poems listed here are not original to me but are "imitation" of yours and then go on to show with articulate arguments how and why they are inferior to what they are "derived" from .  
 
Cue the cowardly (or a variation of the cowardly) and revealing "I don't have time to do this" reply or the one in which J-Z engages in the fallacy of shifting the burden of proof.

"Nearly, all your writings are imitation [SIC] of mine."

This is an outright falsehood.

"Isn't that a good reason to make me believe that you admire my poetry and are jealous of me,"

Even if it were the case that "Nearly, [sic] all" of my poetry is in imitation of yours,  it hardly follows that I admire what you write and that I am jealous of you.  Another explanation -- that actually fits the facts -- is that I want to show by comparison how poorly written and ill-conceived and factually uninformed and cloying and imageless your submissions are and that I write to expose your conceptual flaws, your misuse of the sources you base your "work" upon"  and just how awfully bad the way you set out your (all too often) mistitled pieces are.  

Why would anyone be jealous of the way you write, let alone want to be able to write as you do?

Can you mention the titles of your poems whose ideas and subjects are taken from my poetry. You did the first step and mentioned what you suppose are your original poetry. Do the second and mention your writings which are stolen from my poetry, pretending that you wanted to show the difference between them. Indeed, the difference is big but not as you suppose. It is as l mentioned above.

Ah,  how nice of you to use the fallacy known as the Shifting of the Burden of Proof -- something that people do when they don't want to admit that they are unable to back up claims they have made.

Sorry, no.  I won't play your game.   It's YOUR claim that **nearly all** my writings are "imitation" of yours.  So it's YOUR obligation, NOT mine, to prove that this is so.  And the implication of your claim is that you ALREADY  know which of my pieces are "imitation" of yours.  So unless you do what you are obliged to do,  there's good reason to suspect that you are not only someone who needs to constantly flatter himself by thinking that people are jealous of the way he writes, but also a liar.
 
And I did NOT  list what I "suppose"  to be my original poetry.  If you had done what you demonstrably and all too often don't do -- i.e.,  read with an accurate comprehension of what I write -- you would not have said so.    
 
What I said I was listing for you (and indeed what I actually listed) ) were the titles of every writing I have posted up through today to DUP.   Nowhere did I say that what I listed was what I "supposed" was not "stolen" from you.  
 
In any case,  if I did indeed "steal" from you (and therefore, by definition, deprived you of your submissions),   I've not done anything wrong.  For as T.S. Eliot correctly noted,  
 
“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.”
