When Children.... It is understood abundantly
when children
Are no longer edified
it's not fun any longer
But still ANYTHING
with POETRY in its name
Should not indulge plagiarism
in the time it takes
to be bored. |

JC,
She is not the only one who has noticed; but how do we as a group - discourage plagiarism except to
direct it to the writer in our critiques.
Anything that is written from others should be noted in the poem; with the appropriate quotation marks - and the given rights to the original writer.
It's the best I can give for When Children.
Blessings,
Deni

This is unique, different and intriguing
I would like to know the inspiration
The hidden messages beg to be explained
I like the structure; I just would like more explanation

James,
It is fun to instruct another by our critiques.
And yes plagiarism is not good, although I find at times we use certain cliches and such
which are a plagiarism of sorts too.
But I think a almost complete song is a bit much.
Now children...
You make a good strong point.

Hello James,
Quite shocking. I'm not too familiar with Roy Orbison's songs except for 'drove all night' and a couple of others or until recently, Sugarloaf (green eyes lady). I think it is sad when a poet can use someone else's creation and parade as if it is his/her own. Why do people wish to discredit themselves in this manner? And dont they realise the consequences of it all? There should be no compromises.
Duane.
