Plagiarists steal written work,
And thrive with inadequacy.

All the songs have been sung

If so I should be thrown in jail for plagiarism, for I do believe that was God's original thought...

Sound this speaking voice

PLASTIC BAG PLAGIARISM



I thought it was all over but I have 
Been assaulted by  a  plagiarists’ wave, 
And I felt  used, abused,  dirty .
I’ve received insults  about a plastic  bug (about thirty)
And a plastic bog.    Some...

That one cloud above me seemed, like me, quite lonely
Its passage was slow as it matched my own pace

It was my own thought
My own poem with a novel quote
I smiled with a poet’s pride 
I let my pen bleed and slide
I wrote it down
Framed it for my wall

Familiar words caught my eye
A strangers name in the byline
The poem was many years older than...
