Stolen words!

Saxon Crow

Some poems just arent meant to be shared

As if doing so will give birth to the words

Some thoughts just aren't meant to be given

Just in case reality gives them real meaning! 

A wise man knows when to use the eraser

Forget what he's written and do something without danger

Yes, sometimes, somethings must never be shared

Except when your bloody computer wipes away your first words! 

*frustratingly the poem i was going to post was eaten up by my laptop. (as if a thesaurus wasn't enough for it! Greedy b*****d!)

      Thanks for the offer but a sledgehammer worked really well

      • Fay Slimm.

        Oh what a shock and how frustrating S.C. - -I do understand as I have recently had that happen to me - - and I couldn't find heart to write and post for the rest of that day.........bravo to you from me for this aptly titled and seethingly good exposure ................Fay

          Thanks Fay. The bright side is it did inspire me and got me wondering. Its all good

          You pressed 'delete' or summat, by mistake?!
          If you were in the middle of a long poem, choose a shorter one instead for the day! lol.
          I thought it was going to be about plagiarising - pinching other poet's words - the unforgivable sin for poets!

          • Saxon Crow

            Wow you can spell playg, pligeri, oh that word that means stealing someone elses words. Im in awe!

            • orchidee

              I'm still fussing whether it should have an 's' or 'z' in the middle of it - that 'plaguey' word, that is! lol.
              Someone did it on another site. Even had the effrontery to add his own photo with the poem. They savaged him in words that makes your ears burn!
