shameless ~ [//on plaigiarism//]

A Poem by katja

you would leave me mute
of my memories
& the gratuitous suffering
i've bled from my psyché
in a dark ink spill ~
each time you cut [& paste]
the names of my lovers
from the sighs on my tongue
to claim them
between
your soiled pages
*
sully [my] emotions
& rape thoughts
i've stripped to the bone
... denuded ...
i am vulnerable
when i stroke my deeds
& bare them to vultures
who pick shamelessly
at the carcass
of [stolen] experience
to violate the fragile balance
of signature punctuation
//
i do not waive the rights
to painful impressions
you stake under pretence
... laying siege to my words
to the syllables
which are the aum
of my catharsis ...
*
self-serving
self-righteous
an entitled thief
fashioning patchwork poetry
pilfered & perverted
as a means to an end
... i pity you, poor soul
poor of identity
broke of creativity
famished for attention
starved of honesty...

Your words have been read, and your voice has been heard.
I will warn you I have suffered much backlash and abuse on this subject but I will always stand up for what I believe is true and right. I will make no accusations against this poet that you came to confront, as I think you will do a fine job on your own, much as blue angel has. The people of the Cafe are good people and I am sorry they have to go through this yet again but I hope that they understand the seriousness of what is happening here and know that we will weather the storm.

I must say that I've never had the experience yet that someone steals my writings to use them for their own purpose. If it would happen, I would take measures because my soul, my heart and a lot of time is in it. Very well said. :) Rudi

A feeling of De Va Vu; don't know if I spelled it correctly. It is beautiful writing miss m. You are a wonderful writing that spoke honest heartfelt emotions. Wow, I've got to put it in my library to read again. Every single word perfectly presented. A fresh, lovely heartfelt piece of poetry. Thank you so much. Dale

You are so welcome my dear!
plagiarism is dishonest and crude and a cheap trick on readers and writers alike. everyone knows that. but just listen to the backlash coming from this place. everyone wants to boil the plagiarists up and tie them to whipping posts and whip out shotguns and spread eagle the losers like they were depraved pedobears!!!!!!
get a grip people. what is it that you believe was really stolen here???? you make a lot of noise over a jacked lollypop.

Yes, indeed! You spill your ink profoundly against the vileness of a plagiarist. Impressive crafting, miss m. Thank you deeply for sharing this poem. Respectfully, blue angel

Of late, a lot has been written on Writer's cafe about plagiarism.

It is something I abhor, and can only repeat what I have said in my other replies to poets, in that I cannot for the life of me see the satisfaction got in what is a mean and pointless exercise.

Beccy.

Plagiarism's been flying around here like seagulls trying to steal a sandwich. I say whip out the shotgun and buckshot.

I was requested by Ana to read this, and I'm sorry I had to.
This is the problem with sharing our work online, it becomes a free-for-all
for all those without a creative spark. I hope you find resolution.

This is one of the best descriptions of what it feels like to have your very thoughts purloined by another. Well written, and a very interesting use of the special characters to highlight the entire impression.
