Plagiarism

Accuse me...?

I think it's time that I redefined what it means to rhyme with style

in fact my stylus goes on for miles, we call it files that I tend

when bile rises, I defend

It's aisles of hypocrites on one end, and sly deeds done in crypts on the other

Now I sit on spun-bone marrow bleached and harrowing

I don't even need new formats or schemes to defeat these barrel-headed freaks

So give me more time so I can imbibe the two-way grime of doing it bare-backed on the fly

I'm scary with my raps

you lack tact like a Padawan that can't deflect lasers and crap

I'm saddling you, like where's the stirrups and strap

Guess I'll go straight to the neck...

It's jaded-abated-rained down as blood-red sap

gated and fading from life you can't hack

It's sad to call me a liar with my lines

I'll sandblast your face-flat with my freestyle gone wide

It's wild crimes you couldn't commit with a Reebok and beat-box strip

so just sip my fine-a*s till you die a blip with your thumb in lip

 postin' about lies and misguided psychology on the sly like a wimp

I'm a transparent kinda guy, I'll tear your transient a*s down with my fly open

and yes, I'm so honest I'll even admit I used fly twice, context was also sly

Oh wait did I just use sly twice?

Now I'v said twice three times...

 Guess that makes thrice im'a squirt in your eyes for trying to follow along to my nonsense jive

So get lost, bye-bye... And oh yeah...

I said sly four times

Plagiarism is abhorrent... Go ahead and accuse me... I will freestyle whatever subject, word, or thought given to me... In real-time messenger if you want... I can put my money where my mouth is... So have at it...

Being here a long time, I went through a lot of crap because I took things too seriously and had to learn to ignore not only people, but accusations, and situations that in the scheme of things were not as important as I made them out to be.

We write here for fun. No one's being graded for graduation and no one is going to receive a salary from what they post. The reviews are not done by professionals and put up against the best in the business, we'd all come in last.

Enjoy writing. If you didn't copy someone else's writing you shouldn't have to spin your head and get dizzy over it. You also don't need to be defensive if you're in the right.

I've seen all the negative talk this morning on the live feed. Relax my friend. There's no need to get upset on a site like this. I wish you good luck.I'm only sharing what I've learned. Take it with a grain of salt or ignore me, I'll be fine either way. :)

Thanks, mate... You are right, I just think sometimes the foot needs to be put down.. They can not just accuse people of wildly personal or terrible things, and not face rebuttal in open forum... Especially when there are multiple targets for asinine defacement campaigns... I agree, I should not need to defend myself, free-styling is a passion... So I welcome the test! I will gladly prove myself, not because I feel I have to, but because I want to... Your words are very wise, and thank you again... Would def' not ignore good advice, aha. Well... TRY not to ignore...

[barleygirl]

I love Relic's commentary on this. What we focus on in life is what will become expanded. Punks & trolls thrive on getting a reaction. If you quietly walk away, the noise really does stop. It's no fun to harass someone who doesn't react. But I also understand the urge to defend oneself is strong. Good luck sorting this out! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Relic]

No problem. Just remember, this is the internet. There are no rules, often no empathy, and no lion tamers that are going to take out the teeth of an attacker on your behalf. (or mine).

[barleygirl]

By the way, I used the word "bile" in my last poem . . . are you SURE you didn't plagiarize me!??! (JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) *smile*

[apennylate]

I am not worried about myself... If I "quietly walk away"... It just happens to someone else... I respect you very much. It is not about me, it is about making others aware... Or just plain defending someone who does not do it themselves... I feel NO need to defend myself, obviously my work is unique... But IN defending myself... I show others that these people are just trolls... Easily beatable trolls... Who have caused SOME level of pain to my friends on here... So... Why not... If I CAN, surely I must...? Else I am letting evil run rampant, when I could have done... Something...

[apennylate]

That psychology, of just... "Ignore the bully"... It does not fix anything for anyone else... It is a "head in the sand" technique... It just... Does not jive with me... Thank you very much for weighing in... You MORE than speak for your respectability and wisdom through your writing...

[apennylate]

Lol... YOU CAUGHT ME! Thanks, Relic... But we all gotta dance with lions at some point, eh?

[barleygirl]

As I conduct my peaceful life with my head in the sand, I also applaud those who fight the good fight . . .

[andrew mitchell]

I always thought of you as a guy with a name Tim, poet Relic!🤔😀

[barleygirl]

Silente . . . to end this on a lighter note, did you ever see my recent poem "Porcupine Valentine"? My poem was inspired by your rhyming riffing style & imitation is the most sincere form of flattery (I hope!) *smile* Fondly, Margie

[apennylate]

I think I did... Never reviewed it... As I saw it in very brief passing and then forgot to get back to it... Thank you for reminding me... It was the inspiration from me and EJ, I think I recall...? Will check it out again in a few moments here... You spoil me with your generous praise.... Hah...

[barleygirl]

No worries! No review req'd . . . just wanted to make sure you know you've inspired me.

[apennylate]

That is the... STRONGEST FORM OF FLATTERY THAT EXISTS IN WRITING, imo... To be inspired to create... Utterly grateful to hear such things... Thank you again...

[pragya gaur]

Got to read your work after long it was amazing as always

[apennylate]

Thanks so much! Sorry it has taken a minute to reply! Been away for a while.

[Erudite]

The mediocre bide their time until they can attack the great. I don't know the story, but I know you're a great enough writer to not need to plagiarise. The sad part is, though, that most of the shoddy writers on here don't know who they are. They just go around writer's cafe with a vague sense of anger, lashing out at the truly talented writers.

[apennylate]

Thanks so much! Sorry it has taken a minute to reply! Been away for a while. Totally agree!

[Isabella Ivy]

Being ill, I have missed a lot :/ And I'm sorry to have dropped out of sight. This is a great work of art, as I always felt your pieces to be. You are no mere writer, but an artist. I am again in awe at your gift/talent/ intelligence. Whenever these traits are apparent, there will be real enemies. We don't believe this to be, and so we're shocked when it happens. Don't let it stun you, nor feel the need to defend yourself. But use it as confirmation that your light shines too brilliantly for certain eyes. The green demon of Envy is real. I attempted to join your group, but something goes wrong with my device. I'm surprised that this site is even working for me, as it glitched violently in the past. Much admiration, I.I.

[apennylate]

Thanks so much! Sorry it has taken a minute to reply! Been away for a while. Missed you, Ivy! Hope all is well... Your words are very sweet... Quite pleasant to read and know as truth

[The Iron Horseman]

Love it, buddy! Stick it to the naysayers! You do it with such style and such vivid imagery that it should totally confound the critics. It also made me laugh, which is always welcome! LMAO
You sly dog, you!

[apennylate]

Thanks so much! Sorry it has taken a minute to reply! Been away for a while. I sometimes think i am sly... Those are the days I usually am not...

[The Iron Horseman]

No problem. It is just good to hear from you again. I thought you had gone off into hibernation! Glad to have you back, buddy.

[apennylate]

Hibernation is more about sleeping and waiting... I more so, went into hermit-mode alone with my pad and words... Good to be back, mate

[Steven]

I want to see talented raps become cohesive, but they always seem to meander endlessly. It’s like listening to baroque music.

Then there’s the inevitable, limited themes:

Boast, then
Put down, then
Boast, then
Put down, then
Bit of mysogeny, then
Boast...

I just can’t vibe with it. I’d love to see something more done with it.

Plagiarism is, by default, the pronucleus of poetry. It holds both the egg and the sperm under the tongue of fertilization. It is because we, mankind, know what it takes to be "beautiful" and that specialization, that avoidance with principles, that
'understanding" is implied each and every time we write something. What I mean is that, even if you try not to sound like Plath or Lowell, when you write of confession, you are writing just as they wrote; write about emotional passion, then your writing like Whitman. You can't escape it because it can't be escaped.
But I know what you mean. 'I don't even need new formats of schemes", is a confession of how
you can't live as a poetry writer without them. and yes, you are a real time messenger evidenced by the shadow you have cast around here.....great poem....dana

[apennylate]

Thanks so much! Sorry it has taken a minute to reply! Been away for a while. Also, your words speak true to me, and I am fervently grateful to come back to such a treasure of a comment

[Cecelia A. Green]

At least the haters spend time reading your wonderful work haha!!! You slayed them all!

[apennylate]

Thanks so much! Sorry it has taken a minute to reply! Been away for a while.

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Whatever the situation you addressed here, you did so with a sword & spear! Sharp rhymes, sharp rhymes! Wait, I said that twice! Lol

[apennylate]

Hah, thank you, and make sure to not lose count...!

[Ruth]

Ah, that ole chestnut, needless to say you kicked their a** :) Be you, only you have to know your worth and have nothing to prove to those who accuse of anything. This site has had its fair share of bs but there are good folk here, carry on I say and let it flow cause your writing rocks :)

[apennylate]

Thanks so much, Poppy... It means a lot... I agree... Let the writing rock it out, heh...

[Alex Ware]

Take the accusations as a compliment, people can't conceive that you'd write something that well yourself. Enjoyed as always.

[apennylate]

Heck yeah... I like that way of thinking... Thank you
