Writers Karma

Cruel Plagiarism Prose Challenge

Such lack of respect,

Those dejected imbeciles,

Thriving on leeching the talent

From hard working souls.

The worthless at heart,

They scream insecurity,

No humility,

No integrity,

Not a fiber of good walks with them.

They smile at applause

On another man's work,

Cheesing as credit

Is bestowed in their name.

Ah, but that Karma,

It will catch them one day.

The writers,

we’re lurking,

waiting for a mistake.

I think we know where this one finds its target, I believe in karma too but it can be good to strike back in the way we know best, this issue of late has lost me 2 friends on here not even involved in events just tired of it all, this poem is a good hard slap at plagiarism and is an excellent piece of poetry, well done Briana :)

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you very much. not sure who this person is who is plagiarizing, but i say we set them on fire :D

[R Smith]

no need they gone :D

[Briana O'Connor]

I still want to set him on fire. he's not gone he's just changed sites! he's still on quite a few of them actually. stupid d****e canoe!

[R Smith]

d****e canoe! never heard that before haha

[Briana O'Connor]

:D Some people are such a******s I have to invent words for them!

[R Smith]

which makes me see why your such a great poet and inventor of words :)

[SpeedyHobbit Armstrong]

Great poem in regards to plagiarism. Does this by any chance have anything to do with the recent WC drama resulting from one fellow posting the work of several others as though it were his own?

[Briana O'Connor]

I was actually unaware of the events that unfolded until after taking this challenge. I'm a part of a group that posts different ways to expand our horizons. I found out why this challenge was executed after the fact. Thank you for reading.

[ANM]

So very true the delusion that they can write is at the heart of the plagiarist! Well said...

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D

[Dayran]

They say imitation is the greatest flattery ... but plagiarism certainly reaches out to steal. Nice ...

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you for reading :D

[B.J]

Well done, we do hard work. People should respect others hard work. Well said

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D

[B.J]

you're welcome

[Baby Ricochet]

Karma caught up with Valliencourt. That's for sure

[Briana O'Connor]

he just moved on to other sites :-/

[The Analog Kid]

That guy really is an a*****e and has been for a long time.

[Hitchhiker]

That nasty-a*s "P" word is alive and well wherever there are poetry sites to plunder. How can a person enjoy the accolades by posting another poet's words is beyond my grasp.

[Briana O'Connor]

It gives me a strong desire to buy a flame thrower....

[Steve L.]

A fitting poem for current events on this site. We put our hearts and souls into our pieces...

[Briana O'Connor]

exactly and that b*****d is still alive and poppin on other sites. i keep proposing fire methods but no one seems to be game :P

[MomzillaNC]

Well done. Though, personally, I would have liked a more explicit cruelty or more damning conviction.

NOTES:
On another [man's] work,
[Ah,] but that Karma,

[Briana O'Connor]

I'm not so good with cruelty when it comes to writing for some reason lol Thank you for pointing out my errors. much appreciated.

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome. Glad I could help. It is still a good answer to the challenge. I just feel you cannot be cruel enough about plagiarism.

[Briana O'Connor]

I agree! I am quite angered by that chris guy and the fact that he is still out there. I propose setting him and others who find such acts okay, on fire. Maybe I can write a poem about that :P

[MomzillaNC]

I'd rather see them boiled up to their necks in bat guano!

[Briana O'Connor]

Lmao!!!! Now that is an idea

[Tim]

I've discovered the plagiarist of late on other sites under a different name. As far as he goes, I think it goes deeper than anyone even knows. I agree with the others, excellent piece of poetry.

[Briana O'Connor]

As silly as this sounds this scares me! I work hard on my stuff and I do not want others to take my life experience and pain ect and claim it as their own. It disgusts me.
