A Plagiaristic Poem Stolen From A Magazine
An Experiment In Cut And Paste Ransom Note Plagiaristic Poetry
This is an experiment in cut and past and ransom note plagiaristic poetry. It does not make much sense but it does roughly rhyme and has a consistent number of syllables per line.
I took the challenge from Steve Wheeler / Invisible Poets here in the Facebook Poetry Society.
So here is the poem in plain text but you can see what it turned out like in the main picture.
None of these words are mine but I cut them out and arranged them. Does that make me a thief and a plagiarist? Remember every word we write in our poetry or fiction has been used before, as well as many phrases too. I will leave you to pass judgement on me.
The music is "Cut Me Down" by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions which is sort of appropriate

It makes you profoundly creative, Mike.
Oh my goodness! I wish I had your brain! You're soooooo creative! I love how they rhyme! You did a fantastic job!
It's different! I like the concept and from attempting something similar myself, I know this isn't easy.
