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 

Author's Note

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. :)

[apennylate]

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...

[ms. barrie]

oh wow!!! your unique phraseology is amazing to say the least! both use of funky-in-your-face imagery and rhyming lyrical meter — had me singing (in my head
ofc)...

as far as you being accused for plagiarism, after reading this, i find that comical and you shouldn’t further waste any of your energies on such a ignoramus accusation whomever accused you of such a thing.

brilliantly worded :)

[apennylate]

Thank you, Ms. Barrie... I am past taking offense, and feel I have more than enough proven myself... A brilliant appreciation, thanks again...

[ms. barrie]

you’re welcome, Silente:)

[Great Aunt Astri]

Now, now Silente, don't take on the hardship of others so seriously! Plagiarism is abhorrent, but we all learn from each other, and sometime have the same 'idea' at the same time. The best way to deal with those 'stupid' people is either to ignore them OR use your superiority over them ! Your poetry amazes me. I don't always understand it, but I love reading it!

[apennylate]

On both accounts... Points well made... I have come back to the site, tasted anger... Just decided I am going to learn from my mistakes and move-on... Let my work speak now... Thanks, Aunt Astri, means a lot...

[Great Aunt Astri]

Good for you... and don't let the 'b-----s' upset you!

[Great Aunt Astri]

PS 'May the road rise up to meet you'. (Celtic blessing.)

[外人 (Gaiji..]

I tend to forget English is my third language, reading a poem with such rich vocabulary made me remember lol I can’t help but admire your flow and the musicality of your verses ! So many internal rhymes, alliterations, you name it.

[apennylate]

You seemed to name it wonderfully here... I strive for music within read flow, and I thank you for appreciating...

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Wow! Whoever is accusing you is obviously demented my friend. Your poetry is so uniquely you that statements to the opposite come from out-DUH- space! “When bile rises, I defend” - you cut this cretin to the quick! Raging language, flow, rhyme, beat in this rant that sets your own bar even higher. Kudos for the excellent poem and new picture Silente!

[apennylate]

Demented snakes, friend, demented snakes... Thank you, Annette... I like to think it is a pretty unique style... Always looking to set the bar higher... If only for myself... I am staring into the sun in the picture, but I like it... Haha

[Jackie]

Awesome! You are really talanted. Key is not holding yourself back. And practice. Lots and lots of practice. Where wpuld you say you get your inspiration from?

[apennylate]

I agree... Inspiration comes from beats and word sounds for sure... Thanks, Jackie, appreciate it, man

[Lykos]

Hard to put into words how to describe how epic this is. So I'm just going to say amazing and well done rhyming master 😀

[apennylate]

Those words seem to do rather nicely...! Haha, thank you, Lykos

[Tony Jordan]

I did one thing I very very rarely do after I read this one Silente - I read through the previous reviews because I was sure that this would have garnered some crackers and I wasn't wrong.
Top form here Sir...top form (especially liked the Star Wars ref 100/100 for that alone lol).

Keep 'er lit!

[apennylate]

That was my fav' part as well, lol... I was GOING to make a reference to being a Padawan not good enough to survive Anakin during his ascension to the dark side... But I decided it would be a reference lost on everyone but true star wars fans... Thanks for the time, Tony, and yeah... A lot of wonderful support and insight below... It is a relief to see all the sanity after my brief tangling with INsanity yesterday...

[Mirror]

well I admire your work...you have a style actually

[apennylate]

Hah, well thank you, Mirror... As someone who has been searching for his "style" for a LONG time... This is a much greater compliment than you might know...

[Mirror]

You so welcome dearie...

Well, Silente, from our little back and forth the other day, i guess you understand my point of view on the current shenanigans. So, i will leave that out here.

I don't condone plagiarism. Having gone through the extremely strict academic sector, i know just how dangerous it is to take the words of another as your own. I put it down to lack of imagination and talent more than anything. The best we can do is make sure that our work is our own even if we don't own the rights to the dictionary.

As for this piece, it is stylishly unique just like all the writes of yours i have read. And it is that unique style that makes it stand out on this site. Write your way. It is your style and your talent after all.

Stylish work.

[apennylate]

Thank you so much, Doodley... Thought I had upset you before... You changed your picture... So I did not immediately grasp who it was... I decided to take everyone's collective advice into regard and just let my work talk for itself... Thanks again for the wise words... I will continue to define my own style...

[andrew mitchell]

Nice write silente and I’ve had my run in with you know who and one thing I have learned he hates passive aggressive talk, he gets so wound up lol, but like all things fun I blocked him, he was just too boring and too repetitive in replies. He isn’t very bright! Cheers

[apennylate]

Haha, thanks, Andrew... I have decided to just let my work speak for itself now, and am done responding... They proved MORE THAN ENOUGH... Narrative does not work... You are right... Recycled garbage spewed over and over... Ignoring all attempts at sense and progression of point, or attempts to reconcile and convene in understanding... Appreciate the tip, though, if he ever gets TOO catty, haha
