About Jan Allison

(Show Details...)

Thought I better get round to writing a bit about myself.

I'm married and live on the Isle of Man

My poetry journey began in November 2013 after my husband was diagnosed with cancer. The first poem I wrote was called was Splendid Isolation. This was written after we returned to the Isle of Man after his surgery in England. I felt so alone and vulnerable in the accommodation - all I really needed was someone to talk to face to face and maybe have a hug! I posted a few poems on a friends facebook page - mainly humerous poems . An on-line friend Jenny Brewer saw my poems and kept telling me to join here. It took about 3 weeks of her asking me if i had joined to pluck up the courage to finally post and 'Just Desserts' was the first poem I posted here - it is based on a true experience! Since then my life has been a whirl. In Jared Pickett's collaboration I teamed up with Darren Watson and we wrote together collaboratively as JaDazzle United.

I adore penguins - the animals not the biscuits!
Loveeeee tall men with greying hair
I love baking/cooking
I like to potter in the garden - need more time to commit to it but have an aged mother who needs me more than my garden does
Adore most types of music - will give anything a listen
Best ever gig - Knebworth 1986 when 'Queen' headlined

PLAGERISM ON THE WEB - UPDATED

Blog Posted:2/11/2017 4:48:00 PM

LAST NIGHT I GOOGLED A HAIKU POEM I HAD WRITTEN IN 2014.

I DISCOVERED IT HAD BEEN A WINNER IN A CONTEST IN AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER... BUT IT HAD BEEN SUBMITTED BY THE PRIZEWINNER AS THEIR OWN WORK. IT SADDENS ME THAT SOMEONE CAN STOOP SO LOW.

I AM THANKFUL THAT TPS COPYRIGHT OUR POEMS SO I WAS ABLE TO CONTACT THE EDITOR OF THE NEWSPAPER AND PROVE THE POEM WAS MINE. THE EDITOR OF THE PAPER RESPONDED TO ME STRAIGHT AWAY AND IS LOOKING INTO IT.

16TH FEBRUARY

I HAVE RECEIVED A MAIL FROM THE EDITOR AND THE PERSON WHO USED MY POEM HAS ASKED FOR THE POEM TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO ME. I AM REALLY DELIGHTED THAT THE PAPER HAVE DEALT WITH THIS SO QUICKLY AND THE EDITOR WILL BE PRINTING SOMETHING IN THE PAPER ON FRIDAY.

The Internet has become the Universe of traffic. We'll never Police it all, and all that we find, there's more behind it. So best one can do if it's Plagerising, is knock it on the head when you reveal.

just come from a site Jan who publish as well foward publishing. It became a battle ground. never known such bullying and trolls and plagerism. last weekend was a nightmare. i was picked on with other good people by so many. people left n droves. the Police was called and site closed down. one of bullies came here and started bullying again. got banned. beware, the rot may end up here.Had my work pinched too, but I'm no great poet. i question their mentality. Someone left the asylum door oppn. Pete.

Gee Peter I am so sorry you have had to suffer like that - looks like there are bad apples around who want to spoil it for everyone. Having been bullied in the past I do hope it doesn't continue on here:-( hugs Janxx

How evil. sadly it happens all the time. But so pleased it was a winner and it got sorted out. great poets like yourself and others,inspire us all, but to the less talented, they can only dream od such writing. well done. Pete.

Jan Allison
Date: 2/22/2017 12:21:00 PM

Your comment made me smile - i am no great poet but I hate my work being taken and someone else takes the credit for it - at least it is sorted now and the poem has been credited to me:-) hugs jan xx

"THE PERSON WHO USED MY POEM HAS ASKED FOR THE POEM TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO ME." Well, how magnanimous of them! : P Ah Jan - it really just makes me feel tired, that people feel the need to steal like that. I can see why - greed for prizes if any are offered, or personal recognition. However, woe be unto them, for the most dire cheating is that which they do to themselves, they remove themselves from the creative process, how deep the theft they do not yet know.

Jan Allison
Date: 2/22/2017 9:55:00 AM

I agree with you Doug they are only cheating themselves - I found the same poem on another site and the guy had even done a description of how the poem was written - total BS it was cut and pasted from the web with one word changed lol:-( hugs Jan xx

Jan..That is sad...On the other hand..now that its settled Good for yousweetheart.Do you know I was reading poetry on another site and I found a poem which I recognized immediately that it belonged to a souper here..A woman had posted it as if it was her's..I confronted her..after telling my poet friend here about it...And She apologized and put it down..And this woman acted as a good woman..like a holy saint on another site.Bull-Shitter..Made me so mad..So far anyone who used my poems..asked permission or used my copyright...Only once I had an issue..Of someone called 'Poetry On Demand 'on facebook who posted my poem ..but I tackled it as well.I am happy that now yr issue is solved. Xx

Jan Allison
Date: 2/22/2017 9:52:00 AM

Good for you Charma! I don't mind anyone using my poems as long as I am credited as the writer - I have had a few requests on soup mail and I always say yes:-) hugs Jan xx

Date: 2/15/2017 11:49:00 PM

Since reading your blog, Jan, I have found one of my poems plagiarized twice and another plagiarized once online. They weren't winners if contests but it's still infuriating. I sent an email to one of the sites to have the poem removed, but the other two are on a site called Poem Hunter, and I can't seem to comment or email without joining the site so I'm not sure what to do about it. I don't mind if others use my poems and credit me, but these instances are blatant plagiarism, my poems used word for word. :(

Jan Allison
Date: 2/16/2017 4:22:00 AM

Whoever plagerised your poems 'hunted' down excellent work Rhonda as your poetry is so beautiful. I found one of mine on all poetry and they immediately removed it when I sent them the link to TPS so you could try contacting Poem Hunter site direct. Some may say I am making a fuss about the fact our work is stolen as we are just amateur poets, but its a matter of principle.:-) hugs Jan xx

I'll mail you Judy:-) hugs jan xx

Cyndi

Date: 2/13/2017 3:28:00 PM

Jan, maybe you can look at this another way: you're ready to start submitting your work to haiku magazines (i.e. frog pond) and enter some contests! The plagiarism sucks (I've had my online poetry used many times, but never plagiarized, well, as far as I know.) When I post online, now, I basically write the poem off-- I will never get paid for those poems anyway as posting online is self-publishing free to the public to read, and though the poems (or stories, blogs, etc) is the property of the writer, people treat the material as basically public domain (because who can afford to fight for copyright for a poem?) I hope you go for it ... start publishing! Cyndi

Jan Allison
Date: 2/13/2017 5:57:00 PM

Thanks Cindi I've had about 8 poems published in various publications. I will be putting many of my existing funny poems into a self published e book :-) hugs jan xx

I decided to check and yes it seems they just feel free to take them.. one program is using it as a presentation of my poem "Batter UP" & also my Bio... giving Soup and I credit "SHOCKED" two of my Haikus for their own use one to sell a product the other to sell her web-site leaving my name off.... I only checked a handful..

Jan Allison

If no action is taken by them, Jan, post the email address here, so we all can write to them?

Anne-Lise Andresen

- I agree ... a good idea .... why not ... you have nothing to lose, Jan !

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 1:58:00 PM

I wouldn't do that Darren I am confident they will deal with it and they are the ones who have been deceived by this person and it's embarrassing for them to have to contact them and ask what is going on:-( hugs Jan xx

Good Idea!!!

Tim

Date: 2/12/2017 6:36:00 AM

I don't know if it was your Winter haiku Jan, but wow it is all over the web used in examples. I saw some lady submitted it as hers. I know it's disheartening but it should be a little flattering as well....But there should be ramifications

Arthur Vaso
Date: 2/12/2017 11:47:00 AM

Id be even more upset if she won Boston Bruins tickets!!!

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 9:35:00 AM

Yes that's the poem and its flattering that it won especially as it is one of my early works and I would now classify it as a 3 line poem and not a proper haiku but its the fact that it wasn't her poem to use in the first place that is the bug bear ... of course its got more widely read which is great but unfortunately its not under my name:-( hugs jan xx

Joanna
Daniel

Date: 2/12/2017 5:30:00 AM

Another sad news of plagiarism, Jan:( I hope you get the credit for your poem, actually you should be getting the prize too:)

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 9:37:00 AM

The prize is of no use to me as I am not in the US lol it's just the fact it was my work and someone else got the credit, that is what galls:-( hugs Jan xx

Nette
Onclaud

Date: 2/12/2017 5:15:00 AM

ohh dear, it happens to a lot as no one polices the web, jan.. my works are used by pinterest.com without permission... good thing you contacted the editor... stephen is right, the paper should give you credit for your own work.. huggs

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 9:39:00 AM

I've found so much of my stuff on the web Nette I guess its flattering but when you see poems plagerised it does leave a bad taste in the mouth ... i did find my poem on another website but they quickly removed it for me when i proved it was posted her 3 years ago:-) hugs jan xx

Stephen
Pennell

Date: 2/12/2017 3:46:00 AM

Oh my god jan, the thief as amazing good taste, but seems to be happening a lot hope the paper gives you the credit for it.stephen

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 9:39:00 AM

Maybe they can put something in the paper Stephen I am waiting to hear from the editor:-) hugs jan xx

Arthur
Vaso

Date: 2/11/2017 10:09:00 PM

I hope they do more than look into it, and publish a retraction for you! On the bright side, if people steal your poems means they sure aren't crap!!! They must be real good ones!!! :) hugs

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 9:41:00 AM

You know I am renown for my poop poems Arthur I guess this is one of my better efforts as its my most widely read poem on soup and is all over the web. Its the second time I've found someone else claiming its their work:-( hugs jan xx

I wish I were surprised, but I am not. I have always imagined teenagers desperate to complete an English assignment and the love sick as potential culprits! Can anyone advise the best(s) sites to check our work? I have found many, but all want money I do not have. Good for you, Jan, for hunkering down with your truth until all emerged as 'right'. What people do in the dark will come out in the light - eventually ... CayCay

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 9:44:00 AM

It's just a matter of principle CayCay its the second time I've found this particular poem blatantly plagerised but it is my most popular poem and is all over the web:-) hugs Jan xx

Rhonda
Johnson-Saunders

Date: 2/11/2017 8:15:00 PM

Jan, that's awful but not surprising. It's too easy to plagiarize (we've even seen it here on PS), but it's also easy to check. Anyone judging a writing contest or publishing a piece should take the time to check the work online. I can't understand why they wouldn't. I hope this gets resolved and a retraction is written in the paper. If the person is embarassed, maybe they won't do it again.

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 9:48:00 AM

I've seen plagerised poems winning contests here on soup, its so sad people can stoop so low:-( hugs Jan xx

I sure hope you get the prize money instead of THAT guy!! Guess what? I was just now approached at FB by a guy who has stolen Craig Cornish's identity and is trying to scam people over there. Is Craig still around here so I can let him know this?

Jan Allison
Date: 2/12/2017 9:46:00 AM

It was some tickets that were the prize - totally useless to me, but its the principle - i know you have had problems with your poems being stolen too :-( I thought the thing from 'Craig' was too good to be true ... there are some sad individuals out in cyber space:-( hugs jan xx

Stephen Pennell
Date: 2/12/2017 3:48:00 AM

well spotted andrea

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 2/11/2017 8:11:00 PM

guess how I was able to figure out it was not really Craig? I said, If you are the real Craig Cornish, tell me what PD represents. hahaha.

bloody hell Jan, this is sheer madness, thanks for highlighting the problem, one needs to be on guard,,hope you get the right answer and satisfaction from the newspaper..

Jan Allison
Date: 2/11/2017 5:46:00 PM

If you google a few lines you will find lots of your stuff out there, many people are good and credit you but this was 100% my words but with their name. We may be amateur poets but our poems are our own hard work and its sad to see other's try to pass it off as their own . Last year I found the same poem on another poetry site but as soon as I sent the link showing it was copyrighted here they removed it from the man who had plagerised it. It is great TPS have given us that little symbol by our name:-) hugs Jan xx
