A Cheater And A Thief Comments

It's definitely not a nice thing to do, I believe it's done by those who wish they had the talent and instead of exploring it, they steal it. I think it's most unfair to have your work stolen, I also think it's unfair to remove someone's name from a poem and then present that poem to someone without the name of the poet. I know someone who did this and it really bothers me, that I couldn't find out the name of the person that truly wrote that poem. I'm sure that happens a lot, poets write the poem, people use the words and don't care one bit for the writer, that's just wrong. Melvina

Amen to what Andy said....I can't say it any better: O)

Plagiarism is a form of flattery of a kind, they wish they had that talent, that you put so lovingly in each line, they can only copy art, but to Create it now that takes a poets heart, thiefs and cheats don't have a heart... Andy 10

Those who plagiarize are the worst cheaters and thieves…immorally degraded souls… A realistic gesture………

Well spoken, well spoken, indeed! They ought to branded as what they are, these thieves and cheaters.

you must have really felt upset. but your poem reflects you took it in your stride. thanks for sharing David,
