A Note abonut Plagiarism aka stealing other people's words/poetry
I've seen it myself many a time, it's a free site and the mods seem reluctant to spend the time to monitor or even deal with it when it's reported. If anyone reading the poems in the poetry corner spots someone cheating this way, please please report it as I believe the squeaky wheel gets the grease so to speak. You may not be reporting it for your own benefit, but think of the poets on the corner who put together their words and offer them up from their own hearts and hands - they deserve better than to be insulted by cheaters being posted without question right beside them. Personally, I've reported plagiarism with a modicum of success, I've been abused in my mail box and on my poetry by people who know I've reported them and they always seem to be surprised by my distaste for their un-efforts! In advance I thank anyone who does the real poets this huge favour, I have no way to return it except to offer you the best of what we have from our own hearts and minds.
If you are a poet and are offended by this post - tough! It probably means you feel you have the right to steal other people's words and thoughts - you don't and as long as I am on this site I will be actively watching out for it and encouraging others to do the same.
Having said that, I love poetry and when I come across poets who really work to make their poetry the very best they can, I will do my utmost to promote it and support these true poets.
