Talking About Plagiarism

I plagiarized a verse Japanese, that was copied on Australia, later it was recited In Rome, until being censored in Arabia ... I stole a gipsy poem that was transcribed in sanskrit, went through the package leaflet in Africa, and ended up here in the nook ... Everything I write is played ... All i say It has been said ... Nothing what we poet, it's unheard of ... Everything here or there, It's plagiarism!

Great read! Agree with others who have already commented below. Nothing is new. On a side note, I visited a place in Newcastle, England called 7 Stories (Built over 7 storeys) and read that everything that was ever written boils down to just seven plots / ideas We can't help but borrow if that's the case. There may be only seven basic ideas but there are thousands of stories and poems to read out there with the authors' take on things. Problems occur when work is copied word for word.

EXACTLY!!! Bless you Alkas. Nothing is new. It's just how one wants to express it. It has already been said, and this goes for everything creative. I've said it many times, my favorite quote is Picasso's, "A good artist borrows ideas; a great artist steals them."!!! But that's the beauty of it all, and what connects everything. Feliz Navidad Alkas!!!

Ah, yes, another vindication of the "Infinite number of Monkeys" and literature theory

Well said, Alkas, I read a book, listen to a song, a verse in a poem, or even the bible. and say to myself I've heard this before , but where.
