PLAGIARISM TO BE OR NOT TO BE
Sometimes we, I mean I not thee.
Would like to steal
The odd word or verse away.
Some may say
Wish I could write like you,
Sometimes I wish that too.
Isn't that the dream's of avarice,
To be what we want others to see.
Afrodite stathi wrote just a few,
One of her poems in my mind.
Two lines set my thoughts free.
It's six o'clock and I am still a rock,
Swimming in a sea of desperation.
I know I can say this as a friend,
Taken from her poem, DEAD END.
To use it I'd have no hesitation,
I feel like I'm with her drifting in a dream.
Floating in that sea of desperation,
Almost as though I'm cursed,
Traveling round some parallel universe.
There are many others of cause,
But to use some others without permission;
Would be like flogging a dead horse.
