This love poem is better than Shakespeares sonnet 147

Thanks, Pro. Rebuttal Unfortunately, my opponent has dropped virtually all of my points that I made, as well as most of their own. My opponent says that instead of providing textual examples (which I did), I only taught History and English to Dean. My opponent claims that Dean's poem is superior to one written by the greatest poet who ever lived. It would be a shame if he had to be taught history, English, and spelling by a DDO debater. Criterion (overall quality) My opponent claimed that the literary inferiority of Dean's poem is irrelevant to the debate. Let's review: In round one, my opponent failed to say what the debate was about. I asked my opponent directly whether it was about love, or overall quality. My opponent failed to answer. I then wrote that the debate should be considered the overall quality of the poem. Thus, not only is my opponent wrong that the overall quality of the poem is irrelevant, s/he apparently has not read any of my arguments all the way through since round one. Apollonian/Dionysian (history lesson) My opponent claimed that my history of the Apollonian/Dionysian distinction is irrelevant, failing to notice that the history had a point--it showed that the Shakespearean sonnet had the appropriate blend of Apollo and Dionysus, thereby earning Nietzsche's hypothetical approval; in contrast, Dean's poem is merely Apollonian. My opponent also dropped that the Shakespearean sonnet's implicit language is more provocative of emotion, especially love, in the readership (such as by invoking memories) than Dean's poem. Reduction of love (relationship lesson) My opponent failed to distinguish between love and arousal. S/he claims that the genital-focused verses are love, when in fact they are merely physio-chemical arousal--something that even rape can accomplish--though obviously the latter is thoroughly horrifying and causes immense/traumatic suffering. Pro dropped these points. Spelling/grammar (English lesson) Dean's poem has atrocious grammar and spelling, as I pointed out. If I looked at a resume with bad grammar/spelling, I would assume that the author would show the same carelessness under my employ. Dean's work is being compared to the greatest poet of all time--if he cannot even spare the effort to spell correctly, how can he be expected to be in the same league (so to speak) as Shakespeare? This does not mean that Dean's poem is bad--is just isn't anything close to an all-time classic. Pro dropped these points. Style (English lesson) Dean's poem is simplistic (even in the one and only quote that Pro provided)--simply comparing sexual phenomenon to beautiful things. These things are not even consistent, making the whole point of metaphors and similes useless. Dean might as well drop the Shakespearean pretense and blog about his sexual experiences directly. The 'thee' and 'thou' confuses me, firstly because this is a contemporary poem and secondly because they are next to phrases like "c*** hole." Objectification (life studies) Women are more than mere "c*** holes." Men are more than mere polls. The equating of love and genital activity in Dean's poem reduces people to mere sexual objects. Dean's poem reflects a messed-up idea of love. In contrast, Shakespeare's poem approaches the whole person, not their parts. Objective standards (comparative literature studies) I showed critical listings of Shakespeare being among the most influential writers, and being in fact the greatest playwright and greatest poet in history. Most people would obviously disagree with Pro: They would find, instead, that Shakespeare's works very effectively articulate love. In contrast, Pro has not been able to show any such critical acclaim for Dean. Only cis, straight, able, young people (women and gender studies) Dean's depiction of working straight sexual bodies as the essence of love fails to recognize anyone who is not cis, straight, able, or young. (That is, trans*, queer, disabled, or old people). Love is not limited to heterosexual sex. Shakespeare, who may be been bisexual or gay, reflected this fluidity of love in his works. Dean, on the other hand, does not. Pro has constantly dropped this point.
