Hi Cythera-
Thanks for reading and for the OB poem too.
I was thinking about Nicholas (Plath) Hughes
last night. The title of my piece comes from
Sylvia's poem about Nick- The Night
Dances.
Get a room!! It's like you two were made for each other. By the way,
great work the both of you. Beautiful poems!
Too many colours (black, red, white).
Too many clichés (bad dreams, where love has fled).

Then why not take the time to credit the writer?

Maybe you should have thought that someone else might know, too.
Especially when she's whined and cried for over a year that not
crediting the author means you're plagiarizing and stealing -- if
you're one of the so-called "stupid people".
Still, why not take the time to add a credit to the quote?
If you thought they would, then why would you try to pass Yeats's
poetry off as your own?
Well, Cythera has proven, with her borrowed poetry and continuous
ommission of credit where due, that she has no respect for poets.

I'm not surprised, since you've made a habit of this sort of thing for
at least a decade now, Cythera.
So now your story is that it isn't plagiarism to leave the author's
name off a quote so long as you use "block quote format"?
> For you and dreckery not to know that (or Yeats) is your problem, not
> mine.
Oh, I was pretty sure that you don't really think it's plagiarism to
leave the author's name off a quote, and the only reason you were
calling people plagiarists for doing so was because you were chewing
on on of your friend PJ Ross's turds. But of course no one "knew" that
until you proved it, up above.
Is that an original thought or did you borrow it from somewhere,
Cythera?
It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't trot around AAPC calling some
people (but not others) thieves plagiarists and for doing the same
thing.
Looking at ggamble's *shit people* list -
- that makes 5 who've now been caught posting others'
poetry or lyrics without attribution (Gamble himself, Houstman, PJ,
Karla, and now Cythera), of course without ever a peep of protest from
anyone else on that list.
Good thing she set all that straight, eh?
"It is okay to steal...", as Cythera's pal once informed us.
And I wrote:
> > Is that an original thought or did you borrow it from somewhere, Cythera?
After all, most of the writing I've seen by you you've borrowed from
someone else, Cythera.

Yes, I probably shouldn't be typing right now, too exhausted... long
story but worth a song I said earlier, helped a friend try to locate:
1) His son-in-law, who had gone to work in Opelika & hadn't returned
by 1am
2) His car keys
This after his ordeal of having the car stolen a few days before, add
to that his distraught daughter, in the last days of preganancy with
his first grand-daughter...
A few hours of this, and then some... the son-in-law got home a few
minutes before 4:20... and other details I won't go into right now.
So, after a nap, I'll correct the above paragraph or lines or whatever
they are.
[Dockery's]
> duplicity regarding "credit where due."
No, because that never happened, Cythera.
I always believe in giving "credit where due"... but I'd be interested
in seeing you try to make a case contrary to that.
That was the knockout punch, Will. You nailed her but good with that
one, leaving no wiggle room. That bitch is all yours now, son.

oh, let's write the song for you,
ready, set, go, no revisions, straight out of the keyboard:
Gone to Opelika
help me find my keys
rhythm straight mumble
sandals holding knees.
Gone to Opelika
Spaniards castle dust
pregnant monkey custard
crackers coffee crust
In a hole of worry
baby's on the way
Help me find my car keys
might be born today.
Worry nighttime jangle
driving in the slush
gotta get to keyboard
show I'm up to snuff.
Gone to Opelika
overrated friends
deep sea diver diamond
I think I have the bends.

Aw, don't be jealous, ggreen-eyed ggary. I'm sure Cythera loves
slurping the stools you dump on AAPC, too.
At least ggreen-eyed ggary's not trying to pass off a Mark Knopfler
song as his own this time. That's an improvement.
> (predictable response)
No, it doesn't, Cythera. I'm a believer in "credit where due", while
the entire reason for this conversation with you is the obvious fact
that you do not believe this, and in fact omit "credit where due" in
your own poetry on a regular basis.

I'm moving the coffee away from the keyboard in case you respond.
You don't seem to remember how that came up, Cythera. It was after
you'd called George a thief several times for what turned out to be
ideas you yourself had borrowed!

No, mensageorge, I never typed anything like that.
I guess that means that you and your friend, dockery will now make 5,000
posts saying that I did.
Because, that's what you do.
> > who am I supposedly jealous of?
You can't answer the question.
Of course that's what he does. That's all he knows how to do because
Mensa teaches you arguing skills like George has, and George is, or at
least attempting to make a little bit, but none the less important
point than you were regarding point making, so if it takes him 5,000
more posts to get to his point, then so be it. I'll be his faithful
reader until hell freezes over, because George has just as much right
to be read left, or wrong as anybody. Thank you, and you've been more
than generous for listening to me this long.
> What are you babbling about?
Discretion, m'am.
At your discretion, I'd like you to discretely consider the word
discretion which essentially means choice. We each make choices. You
are making a choice to read me or to stop now. I have made the
discrete choice of becoming an advocate for the legalization of
marijuana as a healthful benefit to the service of mankind. That is
my choice based on my perception of God's choice for me although I
fully understand that the current political climate would indicate
that I am a criminal. Ma'am, I tell you that I am not a criminal. I
smoke pot. It helps me; and it helps me help people. If in any way
anything I've said makes sense to you, or assists in the formation of
reason as it accumulates in your mind, then you are encouraged to
support my efforts. If not, that's okay too.
I can state my opinion in court, and I'd refer to your Robert Morpheal
adaptations as the basis for my opinion.
But, okay, that's why "credit where due" is being quoted, because
that's my opinion that the poet with the original idea should be
credited... it was demonstrated to me long before this that credit to
the person who wrote the poem the new poem is based on isn't required
or expected, and that the "credit where due" belief is in my opinion.
Are you saying, then, that you've always credited Robert Morpheal when
you've borrowed poetry from him for the last decade?
You speak well, Will.
On the post, or in the recording of "Greybeard Cavalier" linked to,
above? Talking with the Bibb City Ramblers of doing a remake of this
one during my cameo in their set with The Shady Branches on the
Saturday night portion of Doo-Nanny... over on Brian Fowler's Facebook

Could change my mind if the camera is there and rolling. See y'all
soon...
Just as review for those who have not been clued in, this was what I
had in mind, kind of a 'Devil Went Down to Georgia' thing, since you
do live in Georgia, with a twist.
I'm picturing the reader, you, focusing on being the VILLAIN in the
Villanelle, like everybody has made you out to be such a vanity
villain here for so long, and this poem is like your saying, "Fine,
you want me to be your villain; well here's THE definitive
Villanelle!!" ...
Maybe even like you're thinking "Villain L(ucifer)", like you and me
are just sneeky little devils trying to get pot legalized, or
something like that. Anyway, just author's notes. Take 'em or leave
'em. If you read any of my poems, please read it how you want to.
The Original Manuscript for my poem, 'The Villain L' is available
somewhere on a.a.p.c. if someone would please be so kind as to find it
and bring it up, I'd really appreciate it as I'm out of time for now,
see.
Okay, so that's either my plan, or God's plan to save the planet, and
I really don't know which is which right now because I'm so not really
confused about anything right now that nothing but everything makes
sense to me when I talk to myself like this while typing madly with my
right hand stop please stop I want to get off now.
Why did you snip my response just to ask me the same question again,
Cythera?

I'll look for that particular version. Is that also the one George is
using in his blog?
Will, please understand me clearly now. Forget my poem. You do not
have to do my poem. You must do as you like, and be yourself. The
concept here, the singular point I am making is what's important. You
are the worst villain in my life, Mr. Will Dockery, and I am coming
down to Georgia to see you. You ARE My Personal Villain L, and I love
you still, so people can call me a poet or not because I just don't
care anymore.
I don't want to forget your poem, but there are a lot of things
happening, now and usually that I have to focus on... I see no reason

Will Dockery: Yes, and I'm reminded that yet another year has gone by
without my
completing the long-promised "Country Woman" song... jeeze, the years
clip by so fast & there's always some new thing I'm working on. I
thought of that when reading this, as a matter of fact, and the one I
wanted to do with Blackpool Jimmy that I never got to. In fact, the
only project of this sort that actually materialized was the Zorro
piece with Benders, and that just happened to fall into place almost
immediately:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G64jUD1tRRA
So, while these side-project collaborations look easy and
interesting,
fitting them in with everything else going on can be difficult,
possibly impossible in the end, and I guess I should state that from
the get-go.
George Dance: It's reasonable to think that a project based on an idea
of your own,
or of someone you're in contact with, would get priority. It's
possible that the Zorro proect just came along at the right place and
time, when there wasn't anything competing; that would explain why it
happened "almost immediately."
I guess the thing to do is not consider such projects as binding, as
intentions rather than commitments. You put it aside till you're
ready
to work on it; by the same token, if someone else comes along who
wants to work on it now, I'll give it to him.
If you're agreeable to that, I'll throw a second song into the mix:
"Always There." Like CW, it's a country song; but unlike CW, which is
more a parody, AT is a sincere one with a simple Hank Williams Sr.-
type melody.
For both those, as I've said, you have freedom to add lyrics and list
yourself as a co-writer of same. The only condition is I have to
approve them, meaning they'd (probably) have to scan as well as, and
(certainly) be consistent in voice with, the rest of the piece.

What is the difference between how "Cohen's haiku" was posted, and how
your verse from Yeats was posted, hypocrite? Let's hear it.
And Karla, to whom I quoted the lines from Cohen's "Summer Haiku", was
able to recognize (or google) where they came from. So what?
Yes, Colin recognized (or googled) it. Karla could have done the
same.
As I said, so what?

It certainly was no more a secret who wrote it.

I thought I "explained" that by snipping it out: whether one uses
"quotation marks or block quote format" is irrelevant to questions of
plagiarism. Plagiarism is about not giving credit to an author, not
about formatting.

You're claiming your quoting Yeats's poem without acknowledgement
wasn't plagiarism because the person you quoted it to could
"understand why I quoted" it. I'm pointing out that the person I
quoted Cohen's poem to could "understand why I quoted" it just as
easily.
> If you and anyone else here

They mean that you're quoting someone (in this case, someone you
didn't bother to credit).

Wrong. I attributed the poem to the author. What I didn't do is credit the
translator, and admitted that it hadn't occurred to me do to so.
And I also didn't try to pass the poem off as mine.
By the way, I think you're reaching here. Yeats' poem is right up there
with Shakespeare, and I bet most people would think a poetry group would
know it. I find it in anthologies and kids have been reading it in school
for years now. In fact, I think it's part of being so famous. When one
repeats their lines, the listener/reader thinks 'Shakespeare' or 'Yeats' or
'Keats'. Or Matthew Arnold:
http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/cinema/2011/01/17/110117crci_cinema_lane?currentPage=2
Of course, if I were writing an essay, or judged my audience to be
unfamiliar with poetry, I would include the attribution. And I think that I
would give credit to any contemporary writer in any company. Most just
haven't earned that kind of glory.
Lastly, what is really going on? Some of us think that George was trying
to pass Cohen's poem off as his own. Some of us think he was being sloppy.
Those who thought the former did raise a stink. George, like Sarah Palin,
failed to apologize and adopted the role of the victim. So now posts like
Cythera's get hounded to death. Who here really thinks that Cythera was
trying to pass Yeats' poem off as her own? As I said before, I don't. She
was responding to comments made by PJR about Adam's poem. PJR pointed out
wornout language. Cythera provided a source. It was all so normal.

Seriously,
You seriously think I'm jealous of you?
good one

You're proud of "forgetting" to credit the person whose poem you're
using?

Okay, you have a point, Cythera... and for additional example I can
note that in twice that you've used/parodied my poetry, you went the
extra step and added "Based on a poem by Will Dockery":
"Fawn Greyhound" (rewrite by Cythera):
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.arts.poetry.comments/msg/ed9016d31de6b7c2
"Corning Town" (rewrite by Cythera):
https://groups.google.com/group/alt.arts.poetry.comments/msg/91a74f3c5909e2dd?hl=en
The point that you never took, say, your adaptations of Morpheal's
poetry off Usenet, which was the major move both Bishop and Cook did
when they stole Karla's "April" and my "Karma Bombs", respectively is
a good one... and a defining one.
So, this apparently being the case, my (belated) apologies.
That's not what I said ~garypoet~. Next time, read before you snip.

Roundabout, perhaps, since Gary does seem to resent and shows some
signs of jealousy towards the MENSA group.

I did notice he's the one who brought up being jealous of me. I hope
everyone notices that. I can't imagine why.
Who knows, maybe jealousy is why he gives you such a hard time, too.
Not always, of course. Cythera reposted her edit of morpheal's
sleeping beauty poem at least three times, only once with his name and
the poem attached.

Actually, last I read Cythera was refusing to say whether she's done
that or not. Maybe there's something later that I missed, though.

They might not be fully deserved, but you probably did the right thing
here.
He has stated (maybe still archived) that I am what he "might have
been."
Bottom line is that I've come to believe that Cythera didn't intend to
infringe Robert Morpheal, as the last dozen or so posts with her
obpoems on his show, as she makes it clear that Morpheal originated
the poems. In some perpective, she actually gives him sole credit in a
way, with "Robert Morpheal wrote:" at top-post.

Isn't that cute?

Poor baby. Maybe you should call my local police again.
