What Wasted Words They Proved Themselves to Be

What Wasted Words They Proved Themselves to Be

 

All those words you wrote

now thrown away ..

All those words you wrote

but dare not say ..

All those words you wrote

that let you down ..

When you pressed pause,

stop, or delete

instead of pressing play ..

All those words you wrote

borrowed, stole or

plagiarised to try and make

some of them stay ..

What wasted words they

proved to be

when played across the ears

of so many deaf disciples

    To incur wrath of poets, go plagiarising.... A guy even had the nerve to post his own pic alongside a poem he nicked!
    Poets responses were generally on the lines of: 'You (*&^^$£@!^%$'}[&'
    Don't translate that, says Fido!

      thanks for the thumbs up ... sorry Fido 🙂

      Your verse says it plainly to scribes who steal words or lines. Words when written have a life of their own and if authentic will attract most readers - applause for your last lines especially Nev - poets who plagiarise certainly do not deserve disciples............x

        I often wonder what happened to the words I did not use Neville.
