There is a lighter side to plagiarism and that is being cherished ...

I agree; this plagiarism lark seems to be getting passed about like some dirty disease, as long as you can prove copyright to your own work before whats the problem, it is not nice but not evil, you would think someone had committed murder, hell bells, it must have been a good poem to have wanted to steal it in the first place, accept that part as a compliment, any lighter Kai and you will be flying like the angel you are . . . : )

Plagiarism is wrong, but i would not call it evil... child abuse, domestic violence is evil... i have never understood why people need to copy another.. has happened to me so many times.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

But: Silent One your poems merit a copy, they are just so good, no lack of self-esteem here, just pure envy - howl . . . ; )

Thank you for your comments and my placement in your contest. I think that all crime is evil, some crimes are much worse and heinous.

Tania, your line is so true, it takes a coward to steal a poets words and Silent will like this one liner a lot because he feels strongly about poetry theft!

Fabulous one liner, Tania Humans do just about anything to be number one. When done here, it's so obvious. Overly commenting, to the point of an addiction really bothers me as I am used in the process...that's neither care nor friendship. My best to you. Panagiota

Yes, and it's both sad and irritating when it happens here. Dishonesty usually always gets found out. Glad it was short lived! Happy Holiday to you and thanks for your visit!

Yes, it is, Tania. Copying someone else's work is also literary theft and an act of fraud. You've summed it up nicely in nine words of truth.
