PS News Gives Cause to Sigh

From Poetry Soup I've been away ~ there's nothing much I've had to say

Not much interest in hanging out ~ not sure lately what it's about

Now I hear some people are using AI ~ cause for giving a sigh

How can they call themselves 'poet' ~ cheat - even if others don't know it

Is winning a contest that important ~ NO, so I took time to rant

Lately, I've reposted an old one or two ~ sorry they're nothing new

'til PS interests me again ~ don't forget me if you're my friend

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 6/3/2024 9:24:00 AM Good Morning, My Dear Lin. You will always have support and cheers from me, and recognize how great a poet you are. Just look at your Monokus! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel Login to Reply

John Lawless Date: 6/3/2024 6:34:00 AM Lin, in many moments of life you must remember...."Ya can't let the bastards win!!...well...maybe a few contests but not the game. You will be missed Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 6/3/2024 6:39:00 AM Hi John. I'm not leaving, and I certainly wouldn't because of anyone. I'm just breaking away for a while to spend time with my granddaughters before I'm off to Florida to spend a week with my grandson. I'll not be put in the corner, even if my name isn't "Baby." Thanks a bunch for your thoughts, though ;-)

Tania Kitchin Date: 6/2/2024 4:29:00 PM Lin, a great set of monoku's and so true. It saddens me that some PS members are so deceitful to use AI or plagiarism to post poems as their own and enter them in contests. There are some horrible thieves among the soup. Please come back for those of us who enjoy you and your poetry. I hope the Admins take action. It amazes me as well how some continue to deny their actions. Login to Reply

Tom Cunningham Date: 6/2/2024 11:05:00 AM It's a sad day when so called poets stoop so low Lin, I'd never dream of stealing someone else's work. Anyone found to have done that should be kicked off the site. Tom Login to Reply

Jay Narain Date: 6/2/2024 10:00:00 AM Well I miss your new poems a lot. You are a creative poet. Some people may be using AI, but it should not bother you. Authentic poems can be easily recognized. Hope you come nback. Login to Reply

David Kavanagh Date: 6/2/2024 9:26:00 AM I don’t think anyone is forgetting you Lin, we all need a break from the soup at times, but a lot has been happening right under our noses, only ones who should be bothered are the plagiarists and AI fakes, oh yeah and Admin of course, nice monokus, cheers David Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 6/2/2024 9:42:00 AM Thanks for commenting on my Monoku. They're not the kind I'd prefer to spend time thinking about, much less writing about them, David. Things haven't felt right in the soup for quite some time.

Silent One Date: 6/2/2024 9:23:00 AM I know how you feel, as I feel the same.. I am sure your friends will not forget you.. AI and plagiarism is sad, even sadder when people use it to enter contests... Especially poems that are 100% AI.... sad... yes, how can you call yourself a poet... Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 6/2/2024 9:40:00 AM You cannot call the creation of another your own. I stopped entering contests many months ago for several reasons, but I never expected to learn that people were doing this. Thank you for the kind words about my friends, Silent One.
