Plagiarism (Tag To Simone Segal)

"I'm a poet. I know it. Hope I don't blow it" Do you want to commit what many poets consider a mortal sin? Do what I just did. Commit an act of plagiarism. The above first verse isn't mine. It's Mr Zimmerman's, more otherwise commonly known as Bob Dylan. I personally don't find plagiarism a mortal sin. If one plagiarized my work I think I'd thank them, even if they happened to profit multi billions. My children could reach thousands or perhaps maybe even millions. I'd see it as they sharing with the world All My Children. Some of my children could motivate others to stop smoking or drinking. or a better approach toward raising and teaching their children. Some of my children may make otherwise sad people laugh. My children may cause some who read them to dismiss vile thoughts of wrath. None of my children encourage plagiarism. It's wrong and everyone knows it. Spiritual Perspectives would never allow me to to so because I Am A True Poet. Besides, stealing somebody else's work often leaves both parties in a world of hurt. I similarly as much with the majority of mine, are a most noble, honest, and most respectful kind and I'm proud to say that just like all of they too, I Am A Poet. *********************************************************************** (Tagged by Carolyn Devonshire and now I'm tagging Simone Segal) Your assignment Simone is to write a poem ending with I Am A Poet, afterwould you tag some one else to do the same. C'mon Simone, join the fun. Are ya chicken? BAR BUK BUK BUK BARRR! - That's supposed to be my chicken sound.
