Witch hunt

One of the closed accounts calls the recent calling out of the multii id plagiarist a witch hunt -- for Frieda, Noel, and Rene

Woke up one morning
had me an itch,
said I am going
to bag me
a multi-identifiable,
undeniably certifiable,
double dealing,
formerly mass appealing,
poetry stealing witch.

Armed with only a
clever pickle,
and a white hat cowboy
by my side,
we saddled up
and went for a ride,
documenting the
impossible slide of
deception and pride

We enlisted some help
from a guy from I.T.
hard to believe
the depth of ability
to deceive so thoroughly,
a teacher, a mom,
the boy next door,
there wasn't a person,
he hadn't been before.

Now he's ducking, deleting,
and running for cover,
closing accounts, one after another,
"a witch hunt,"
one of his lady personalities complained --
and he better believe it, 
no more like it or leave it,
we're having too much fun,
we won't stop till it's done.

Plagiarists, beware!.......................

[Lyn Anderson]

Yours was much more sophisticated than mine. I want him to leave. I don't like sharing our space with a deceptive plagiarist.

[Tate Morgan]

Spot on this hit the mark. You are certainly a force to be reckoned with. Of course myself i am partial to the rhyme

[Lyn Anderson]

Good, I liked the rhyme too. I really do want this guy out of here. He has been publicly outed and shamed here and on facebook and twitter. I think it is time for him to leave.

[Tate Morgan]

My guess he feels no shame and he will not go

[Sami Khalil]

A message to all who plagiarists to be on the lookout. The truth will come out gripping and dripping...Excellent...:)........

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. He is still here as far as I know. Why he doesn't leave or isn't ousted is beyond me.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. I do agree. You are welcome...:).....

[Bright Ocean Star]

I love this,KLG! It is light hearted and out for blood! Reminds me of my favorite old Wild West Movies I loved as a kid with John Wayne. I love the references to the white hatted cowboy and My favorite mrs. pickle.... :) I would love to know to whom you refer, but you can tell me privately. Awesome write, my friend!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. I had fun writing it.

[Baby Ricochet]

Of all the anti plagiarism poems I've read over the last week. This is the stand out. Well done KL. Well done indeed

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it. I wrote it while dog walking today.:)

[Caradoc]

This is awesome. I'm in love with that first stanza. That was cleverly and skillfully written. It rhymed so well, I thought I was going to break into song. lol Now there's an idea. Someone needs to sing this, record it, and share with the Cafe, hahaha.

A lovely write.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it.

[Lydia Shutter]

WOW, you told someone off really well with this one! There is no excuse for plagiarism...none whatsoever. It is a punishable crime, but many do not see it that way. Unfortunately on the internet, people create personas and we can not pinpoint them. Another site I was on had flagrant plagiarism happening on a daily basis and till this day one of the poets there is guilty of it. However, she and her boyfriend bought the site so they can do as they wish now. I hope whomever is guilty of this on WC is caught and ousted from the site quickly. Your words are well written and powerful. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it. He is known, he is still lurking.

[Delmar Cooper]

What in the devil is a "clever pickle"?

[Lyn Anderson]

Frieda Pickle of course.:)

[Delmar Cooper]

Oh I had no idea she had a last name. I consider her an icon like say Cher.

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha, Frieda will laugh her a*s off at that one.

[Einstein Noodle]

God bless you KL .. so glad that my own suspicions were brought to light .. he is blocked and i am unsubscribed but still his stuff makes it through my RR's .. if i had IT intelligence at all i would gladly join the pursuit .. so needless to say .. i really appreciate you and all the cowboys and girls in your posse .. round em up and take him down!!
thank you .. really!

Well, it started out as myself and Frieda annoyed with the serial reviewing and mutli ids. It really just went from there. Now one of the closed accounts claims there is "too much personal drama in here" and "witch hunts" -- which implies there is nothing behind it. No one deletes work after being accused of plagiarism unless guilty. Hell, if I was accused, I would NEVER take my stuff down, because it ISN'T TRUE. Many people put up with his presence knowing what he was doing. Enough is enough. It is time for him to leave.

[Einstein Noodle]

yep! no one abides dishonesty

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Well my hat is black so I know you are not talking bout me, WHEW, lol

Seriously a fun tongue in cheek approach to the topic at hand… I don't know how one keeps up with so many accounts, I have trouble maintaining one.

[Lyn Anderson]

The only way he could -- by stealing other peoples' words.
