You Are Not New

A rant no less.........

You Are Not New

 

 

You are not new

Are you

You are a foul vowel magpie

 

 A plagiarist  

Masquerading as a man of words    

 

You are not new

Are you

You are just another internet predator

 

Getting off and getting high

On other people’s words does it for you

 

You are not new

Are you

New name maybe new facade for sure…

 

Mind the old avatar

Pops up every now and again so why don’t you

Just disappear for good and make our day

…

Good afternoon Neville. So hot for a Bank Holiday Monday. Now your poem and the mention of magpies, brings to mind theft. Magpies steal nice shiny things for their nests. I think there must be a magpie here, it won't be the first magpie I have come across. They reside on most poetry sites I have come across. Not nice when it happens, but in a peculiar way, it could be taken as a compliment.

Been out in it all week-end, home now for a touch of shade. What is it with our weather? Blistering hot or icicles. Time for tea methinks.
