This one had me nodding, arqios. I may know what I brought to a poem when I wrote it, but I can\'t possibly know everything another person will bring when they read it. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Here in rich poetic form which was a pleasure to read, you have made an observation which has universal applicability.
A message created by its speaker/author travels through time and space and may reach the recipient in good condition, or may have been damaged, even transformed during the journey.
This is a proposition which needs much greater awareness when engaging in any form of communication.
Its importance deserves a fave.

Many a time I\'ve Read a Poem and thought: \'That\'s a good Idea\'. But wrote it in my own words of course. A good Write.

Lovely my friend so much said in so little an allegory and a lesson. We often think we are stealing or that someone steals from us but ideas are free and belong to no one they may be altered and perceived in different ways. Only direct copying of a work is plagiarism if not done with proper citation and credit being given. A lovely write my friend cast so nicely in example it softens the blow of taking from another. I have always felt that the highest form of flattery was someone taking what one did and copying it, a fave

Wow, that\'s got me thinking...like it should...it feels like to separate stories told as one?
Either way, the old lady had faith, I suspect.

old lady poetry
sorenbarrett said:
This is most powerful Cryptic it speaks to guilty hearts everywhere. Stolen lines. Another\'s thoughts and work taken credit for a crime. The call it plagiarism and a crime of great shame it is but where does it start and end. A faint memory, an unconscious association, something read long ago that seems your own. Ecclesiastes says there is nothing new under the sun but to knowingly take from the wearied mind of an old poet does or at least should leave some feeling of guilt. A fave my friend.

Someones loss, someones gain, someones ultimate ache.
Without doing much, the old woman has broken him in two.

Rik, I love the thought of tears not as collapse, but as something that actually fills the cracks. Sometimes crying isn’t surrender at all. It’s how we gather enough of ourselves back together to face another day. Profound, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
