Block of Ice(landicblue)

I shall name no names! Really??

You blocked me,
yet we never exchanged a word
You blocked me,
now don't you feel absurd?

You silly little man
What did I do to you?
Have your tender sensibilities
given me my due?

Don't be such a baby
don't be such a child.
Have I breached your boundaries-
am I just too wild?

I think it's your misogyny
and your ego too.
I never liked your poetry
nor your rigid rules.

So now I bid you fair adieu
in a bit more formal way,
and to tell you I don't miss you
now that you've gone away.

Ha! I know, right? This only confirms my suspicions that the WC is an experiment run by behavioral psychiatrists. I imagine the conversation went thusly: "Dr. Smart, why don't we create a website where only the most narcissistic people will join, and by this I of course mean amateur writers, give them free reign to post their own work, which, of course they think is brilliant, and then allow other writers, who feel they are brilliant, free access to critique any published work they choose."

"Will there be rules, Dr. Brain?"

"Yes, but they will not be adhered to. I'm surprised you would ask, Dr. Smart."

"Well, Dr. Brain, I think it's an excellent idea for an experiment...we'll call it...Writer's Coffee Corner."

"How on earth did you even get through medical school, Dr. Smart. Clearly we should call it WritersCafe. Honestly, I wonder why I chose you as my research partner."

"Out of interest, Dr. Brain...are you an amateur writer?"

"Why yes, Dr. Smart...yes I am..."

Aaaaaaaaaand...scene.

I'm almost positive that's what's going on here. If I mysteriously disappear, have the police question the Smart-Brain Group xD

Great piece, blue. I, personally, find you delightful and would never dream of blocking you.

[Frieda P]

ROFLMFAO!!

[icelandicblue]

LOL- a wonderful scenario- much like that prison experiment they did at Stanford. At least if you blocked me I could take solace in the fact that I was blocked by the best.

[Frieda P]

Sorry I really find this whole 'blocking' thing quite juvenile at best...someone needs to revamp the site, erhum, Dr Brain...

[redflutterby]

Bahaha...I just spit my drink all over the screen. That should be a poem Kimmer. ;-)

[icelandicblue]

Thanks for laughing with me. (That's what you're doing right?) 'Tis to laugh.

[Frieda P]

I'm pretty sure Dr Brain and the kimmer are one in the same, did you read her f*****g soup recipe...ha!

[KAOlmsted]

xD

and *blush* thanks, blue...

I know, it needs a massive overhaul. Anybody know any techies willing to take it on? Oh wait...I'd die of withdrawal through the reconstruction.

[redflutterby]

Of course.... who ever blocked you must have issues!! ;-)

[icelandicblue]

I read her f*****g chowder recipe and it was f*****g awesome. I'm actually honored that someone thinks I am so dangerous I must be blocked. It gives me goosebumps lol.

[Frieda P]

Lol, then stop your bellyaching!! Lol ;-P

[icelandicblue]

NO! And you can't make me- you're not the boss of me ya know. I'm celebrating my badness.

[KAOlmsted]

Ha! I'm an absolute menace, I've been blocked by the might David Lewis Paget...beat that! xD (and thanks for the shameless plug for Clam F*****g Chowder...available on my profile page)

[Frieda P]

Hahah, you sound like one of my kids...Lol!

[Frieda P]

Pfft, that's your claim to fame the kimmer?

[icelandicblue]

I can't beat that...yet

[KAOlmsted]

That's Dr. Brain to you, Mrs. R ;-p

It's really quite simple, blue...just respectfully disagree with him. Works like a charm.

[Frieda P]

As far as I know, he only likes one person here, erhum, not dropping any names...and stop outing me the kimmer!!

[KAOlmsted]

Oh! I know! I know! Pick me! Pick me! He only likes.........

....we interrupt this review for an important WC message....whomever has written a poem about blocking or being blocked must do so at this time. Thank you for your cooperation. We now return you to your regularly scheduled review...........

...and THAT's why everyone thinks they're the same people. Am I right?

Oh, and...sorry, Miss P >.

[Frieda P]

Lol, you're on a roll the kimmer, those wooly monster socks have you crankin' em out! ;-)

[icelandicblue]

Perhaps I'll host a contest.

[KAOlmsted]

*laugh* even though I forgot the NOT in my message D'oh >.<

A contest...?

[icelandicblue]

Write a poem about being blocked.

[KAOlmsted]

I think almost everyone has been there done that...I think even I've written one or two...can we submit old ones? I haven't been blocked in a while and I sort of purged the memory of it from my mind *laugh*

[icelandicblue]

All poems would be welcome- well except for one.

[KAOlmsted]

;-)

[Frieda P]

Sounds like a good idea to be, I think I have one floating around here somewhere, it was a multiple choice for why you've blocked the person, at least we'd have an explanation that way, I was blocked by someone I thought way my friend, have no clue why to this day...

[Jack...]

I used to play with blocks when I was a kid, but not anymore.

[Aidz]

Lurved your comment so spot on I could not have written better myself

[Zahra]

haha, great story! :D

[NeiL ArandA]

This one is really cute... It perhaps where the pen name came from ? maybe ...

[icelandicblue]

No actually I love iceland...it's a very cool place geologically. The land of fire and ice. It's quite unique and I love the color of icelandic water, the cold blue is mesmerizing- so the name is like a puzzle of pieces of things that I find pleasing. I used the name here as a play on words when someone blocked me. It was the first time it had happened and I have to admit I was a bit taken aback and gasp...hurt, so the poem was born.

[NeiL ArandA]

That really odd ? Why they would block someone as brilliant as you ? Are they jealous or insecure ...

[icelandicblue]

From what I understand they thought I was friends with someone they considered an enemy. Go figure!

[Justaguy]

It has been my experience that a "Block" button is a tool for the immature among us to avoid an adult stance with others. Well written!

[icelandicblue]

So true, thanks.

[Shivam Murari]

Now let's be honest. While reading the first stanza, I thought this is by some naive poet, but when I saw your name, I knew there must be some meaning to the childish innocence of the poem. Yet the first two lines sent a chill down my spine - OCD, perhaps. I really think that the first letter in the second line should be BUT, because yet makes no sense. As the poem advanced, words like "silly, little man", made me think the poem has the teenage's desperateness. However, the last stanza gives a pure adult hint. So, a total game with my psychology. Though, your poem is nice and compact, I don't think this is your best work, I have read much better works of yours. :-)

[Zahra]

haha, i've also been blocked by some people i don't even know. But i don't think it's really something to worry about. For one thing, wc is giving the blocking option so i think people have the right to use it for their own reason. For another, i think it's their own loss, they'll be losing good readers, and reviewers, and well...friends.

[icelandicblue]

I agree, that is why this was done with humor; I find it amusing at best.

; )

[CricketSong]

Nicely said. I think we all can relate with the sentiment here. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed this a great deal.

[icelandicblue]

HiYa-

All for fun, thanks for reading.

[Kristin Lee]

I LOVE IT! How often do we reject what is unfamiliar simply becuase, we can, we don't have time, we don't want to, or any other stupid form of rejection? Cause let's face it...it is rejection in its finest form. And it's stupid. How can you reject someone or something that you dont know? Wonderful write up!

[icelandicblue]

Thanks I am happy that you enjoyed the poem. I agree it's ridiculous.

[Ravyne Hawke]

Brilliant! You've made a wonderful point here and I know many who act that way.

[icelandicblue]

LOL thanks Lori!

[Penlight]

Nice meter and flow. So easy to read and the subject matter makes me want to cheer you on....Bravo!

[icelandicblue]

Hi Penlight,

I am happy that you enjoyed the the tongue-in-cheek tone of the poem. : )

[Aidz]

I enjoyed this, also enjoyed the featured review from KAOlmsted and I wonder if it the same who blocked me ... Mmmmm ... Hey Quinfinn Im one of your five, YAY me!!! still no idea why you blocked me, must be I upset you oh well, refer to this poem as its summed up beautifully

No KAOlmsted got this write in one .... :)

Thnx for letting me read and comment....

[Aidz]

I should add I only blocked one person for the most homophobic rant of a write that actually angered me to the point of yes I admit I hit block

[icelandicblue]

Hi Aidz,
Thanks for commenting. I think trolling and hate should be blocked. I am sure that was the purpose of the block originally, but like anything, some use it for lesser crimes, even when we don't know what those are!

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Good write very captivating. I was blocked before by a writer and I asked her in the thread why she had blocked me, she reply that she don't have idea how it goes. So sometimes it is purely a mistakes, for my side I reach out so I get the honest answer :) Love this piece.

[icelandicblue]

Thank you Marc- you are a diplomat and a gentleman.

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

:) Welcome I enjoy reading your work.
