The Literary Plagiarist

Another Stolen Poem

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

This is a second experimental piece to construct a sonnet where the first part of each line is the name of the first chapter plucked fairly randomly from my library.

I don't have a clue whether it will make any sense or be coherent, but here are fourteen lines containing fourteen chapters' names from fourteen books.

See if you know any, you may know the chapter titles but the book could be a completely different kettle of fish.

The music, appropriately is "The Stealer" by Free

  • Very interesting approach to cut and piece parts of your others works to start each new sentence. A surreal Experience and a intriguing one indeed
