Notes About The Poem

I am likely to rewrite this work quite a few times yet. There is something here I’m sure however I have yet to find it. I hope your feed back my friends will help me. I love poetrysoup and I love the amazing poets here. I have been suffering with acute depression of late. I have my dark moments. It is difficult for me to visit my friend’s works these days. I do make an effort I assure you. I love all of you more than you’ll ever know. I love your words and your imaginations I love your giving nature. I know sometimes not all of us agree but I don’t know where I would be without you my dear friends. That you can take to the bank. Remember there are many great artists few are ever recognized. Keep happy and keep writing. 

I have started work, directing and co writing a web series and also a film. There are pieces written here by poets that I will want to use of course I will approach you at the time. One last time I remind you that I love your poetry...I love you all.

 

always,

armand

A Glimpse

guilty as charged
i stole it tall
every consonant 
every vowel
every word
every sentence 

plagiarized 

the ocean
in its unique shades of blues and greens
combined and blended to create
its very own colour 
a tint i call ocean brave
covered in water
topped off in water
surrounded by water
immersed in water
stunning
the ocean

plagiarized 

the beach
in unique shades of beiges and whites
combined and blended to create
a brand new fabric
they call it whiskey white
a trillion grains
parts unknown 
the total sum of all
unified to act as one
the beach

plagiarized 

the cloud
in unique shades of this and that
combined and blended to create 
mystery
spin the wheel if you wish
a blank pallet- blush
a perfectly complex complexion- luminous 
coloured in soft and titillating to the touch- pigment
oh the touch- intense
light as air
immaculate 
the cloud

plagiarized

the living
in unique shades of everything
combined and blended to create
a cornucopia of finishes, stains
combined and blended 
the world of the living
with all its bells and whistles
the unmitigated 
the undisputed overall
the living

plagiarized 

guilty as charged
i stole it all
every consonant 
every vowel
every word
every sentence 

everything 
i see
i feel
i invent
i write
everything 

plagiarized 
from just a glimpse of you

i am wonderfully, joyfully 
sick in love and you are everything i do


guilty as charged

all of it
plagiarized

John Fleming December 31, 2017 at 1:46 PM What I admire about you and your writing, Armand, above all else, is your plain, wide-open honesty...it is intrinsic to your nature; you wear it like you wear your heart: on your sleeve for the whole, wide-waking world to see - and you don't give a damn!! No wonder we all love and admire you! My very best wishes for your forth coming New Year, Armand...and my very best regards as always my friend - Cheers!! :) john

Richard Lamoureux December 23, 2017 at 2:41 PM I have been away from you writing for too long. As always you are exceptional. Merry Christmas Armand.

FJ Thomas December 18, 2017 at 12:04 PM I believe we are all guilty of this in some form or another Armand. This is very beautiful and unique. I do hope you find something to lift your spirit. :)

Gary Bateman December 15, 2017 at 9:10 AM Hello Armand, My Best Congratulations to you on POTD!! I do think that perhaps all of us are guilty too of this, in one way or another, but you've used the divine magnificence of your pen and the golden treasure of your thoughts to articulate all of these words in a truly meaningful way, full of your legendary wit, humor, and sense of wondrous enchantment. Very Well-Done!! A FAVE ABSOLUTELY!! Take Care of Yourself -- and Keep Writing Always!! Best Christmas Wishes, Gary

Indiana Shaw December 14, 2017 at 11:43 PM Guilty as charged to have created such lyrics and such lyrics should bow in your presence of such a theft . . .

Amaarah Cajee December 14, 2017 at 10:36 PM The pages on which you write are truly blessed, your descriptions are breathtaking. i absolutley love this.

Alexis Y. December 14, 2017 at 7:27 PM WoW! Armand, You have a way with your pen. The title alone caught my attention. And as I began to read I was drawn to every word and stanza. The repeated use of the word" I Plagiarized It All" was clever. I've never seen such a bold declaration of love quite like this. Excellent job. Congratulations on getting the poem of the day. I wouldn't be surprised if it got honored poem of the week:-) Alexis

Paul Callus December 14, 2017 at 4:53 PM You always deliver, Armand. Once again your pen has stayed faithful to you. This is a beautiful and expressive poem which retains your unique style of writing. Congratulation son POTD. ~ Best regards and good luck with your writing & directing. // paul

Andrea Dietrich December 14, 2017 at 10:59 AM and a POTD? WOW!!! Congrats. I enjoyed your sweet message to us all, by the way, and I pray you will not linger in depression.

Andrea Dietrich December 14, 2017 at 10:58 AM OMG, stunning work from you, Armand. It's so true, every word we say has been used by someone, or it would not be a word. Every phrase has probably been said by someone else in history at one time or another. but ONLY YOU have put together in the exact manner the way you have aligned your lines to make up this wondrous poem birthed from your creative genius. FAVE

John Lawless December 14, 2017 at 7:46 AM So....if I steal this and....slip it under her pillow.....plagiarize.....a moment within a moment.....pilfer the beauty of her eyes, sift her sandy tresses thru my fingers, caress the aura of her skin, and lie about who wrote it.....DAMN THIS IS GOOD ARMAND......

James Swartz December 14, 2017 at 7:11 AM Awesome idea and you wrote it perfectly. Every consonant and vowel and word and sentence was beautifully placed. Congratulations on POTD!

Maria Williams December 14, 2017 at 7:02 AM Back with my congratulations for your POTD on this amazing write Armand, so well deserved....Maria

Silent One December 14, 2017 at 6:07 AM Depression is a difficult thing to deal with and something so many do not understand, unless you have suffered from it.. my brother suffers very badly from it.. You seem to be doing the right thing in keeping busy, and only you understand your own soul.. Great poem, I think that many plagiarise, but dont even realise they are doing it.. Congrats on POTD.
