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...

[Coyote Poetry]

Free-style freely my friend. No words are owned. If you read Donne, Dryden and Ben Jonson. You will find the modern songs and every sexy poem. Motivated by the Donne whispered of love. All of us will re-use the powerful words. I hope you are doing well. My favorite saying is from Bob Dylan. He said. If you must use my words. Please write them better.
Coyote

[apennylate]

Named after Bob Dylan, so I appreciate hearing about him twice in the reviews... Thanks, Coyote... I never knew he said that.... Now that I do know... It could possibly by my new favorite thing to know, hah...

[Coyote Poetry]

I have his book of poetry from the sixties to the nineties. 500 pages of poetry and song. He was the best song writer of the sixties and the seventies. You are welcome my friend.

[Einstein Noodle]

biting, acerbic and i think there is a smile behind all the rebel charm ;) especially appreciate these:
"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"
hard hitting rap down sir! reminds me of my younger son and some of his buddies that went at it in just such a way .. tho it was for fun .. being accused of plagiarism on a poetry site is not fun :( i hope the situatioon smooths out for you...i always enjoy your style of writing and creative expression ..tally ho my friend! ;)
E.

[apennylate]

I WAS smiling... Cause... Come on... I just KNOW I kick major a*s here, haha... But seriously, thank you, Einstien... Would have loved to see those rap battles with your son...

[Einstein Noodle]

i am sure you would sir! :)

[Jon Roggie]

I step aside for a little while, and the drama starts again. Words, once forgotten, now reclaimed. Still the meaning might not be the same.
S**t.
i barely know how to rhyme.
Does it stop me?
Write on!
Sorry about the gibberish.

[apennylate]

Nothing should stop us from writing, hah... Drama ALWAYS appears... Angry people get bored... Gibberish, it is not... Badass appreciation, it is.... Thanks, Jon

[wordman]

damn man you should be making records

[apennylate]

If only I had the right setup right now! Hah, thanks, Wordman, appreciate it very much

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, Plagiarism sometimes is a non-entity when we think about it...everything we write is plagiarism...the words are already in the dictionary...and how we spin them together (as you have wonderfully and creatively done here)...how can anyone prove a phrase hasn't been used before" and that anything is really Our intellectual property...Dylan sues Hootie and the Blowfish for using "tangled up in blue"--did he really make that up...or read it and hear it somewhere and it sat in his subconscious until he used it in a song.

sly sly sly sly piece

j.

[apennylate]

Funny, I see Dylan twice in these reviews... I was named after 'ol Bobby, heh... I agree, Jacob, about inspiration taking new, but old forms... Thank you for the words, they mean a good amount in the situation

[Sami Khalil]

In my book, you are one of the most talented and rising stars. When they attack you, know they are jealous or have other intents in mind. A lot of wicked ones want to demean others and pass judgement with out proof or empathy. They are cold-hearted and mean. I had few people tried to bother me so I just blocked them and moved on. Stay being you and plow ahead sharing your talents...

[apennylate]

D'aw, I remember you are one of my first reviewers, Sami, and I was so excited cause someone so popular and well-written had noticed me... I take your words heavily, and aye... From now on I am going to just ignore the haters and progress forward... My work can more than speak for itself, I think... Thanks again, Sami...

[Sami Khalil]

All true. You are welcome.

[Raven Moonchild]

(applauds) Fanbloodytastic!!!!!!! :D (throws horns) Such power!!!!!

[apennylate]

Vroom-vroom, Raven.... Gave it a good 'ol blast of the double barrels... Guess what...? It took TEN minutes to write...! HAH... Thanks for the victorious horns! *Metalllllll foreverrrrrrr*

[emmajoy]

Fine and unique post, my friend.. as always.

Plagiarism is asif cutting thought from a person's mind - no more or less. Any fool can piss in a pot, only the craftsman can make the pot. (forgive, old quote from somewhere)

To be honest, i would gather your buddies and you have an army of them.. and ignore the villain.. nothing worse than not be noticed. Silence is a kille, don't you think. You've posted your opinion, made it clear and brilliantly.. now stand tall and be sure many in here agree whole-heartedly. Over ten or so years there have sick trolls who think they can manipulate by foul-mouthing.. no, they can't because they just fade and rot like their behaviour - in seconds. So there. .

[apennylate]

Aye, EJ... I decided with the collection of info on his, and his cohorts stratagems that I collected yesterday... I am done responding with anything but the success of my work... Let them suffer... They have had the spotlight shown on them... Time to suffer alone and without a wall to smash... I step forward with purpose and clean conscious... Thanks very much for the (almost always) wiser than wise words.

[emmajoy]

Wish this was only a writing site.. seems to be an arena of sorts.... You be you.. no backing down.. write.

[Paul Bell]

Using sly four times. That's a definite poets police investigation. What's going on in poetry corner this week. Is it just Halloween.

[apennylate]

Halloween is the time for gruesome deeds, Paul... Heh, thanks for the time, and since I policed myself... Does that mean I get a donut...?

[Paul Bell]

It sure does.
