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
thank you, as always for your insight & understanding Fay .. x
I often wonder what happened to the words I did not use Neville.
