Plagiarism Curse


          A  POET  has a  d e e p  need to pen verse,
  and from our souls we pull each emotion;
               some days we turn  A W A Y  from this  DARK  curse-
           Oh we love our  i n k  with great devotion;
  but a thief is cruising the UNIVERSE,
      breaking our  h e a r t s -   leaving our ink a  C U R S E .

Congratulations on you win, BW. I think you are right, theft is worse when it's our thoughts and feelings that are being stolen. // Barry.

But at least the poet possesses the heart of poetic prowess, these thieves you speak of have no beating heart of any such emotions! Great pen, Constance!
