the moon a membrane of bad dreams
the wind a black lake of red sun falls
in your eyes a forest of blood wounds
kindness remembers kissing the shrieks
pain storms from the white cradle place
our voices sink to where love has fled

Do you know the tickle word miss tickle said sounds so absurd. The
word I heard miss tickle say I've written for you here today. Miss
tickle knows to blow my nose, and buy me all my brand new clothes, and
treat me well, and show me off if even sometimes I might cough out
loud like proud like this and that like sometimes I say shit like that
and this dismiss it all of course I'm nothing but a talking horse's
ass who passes by you thinking this was smart or maybe stinking.

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

Yes, you suck now. You really suck in with your mouth, Peter, air.
You must do as I say now. Speak of me to me here.

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face among a crowd of stars.

The compass seems to them a woman spread:

Then why not take the time to credit the writer?

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".

Why wouldn't everyone reading here already know Yeats's most famous
works?

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.

Block quote format means the material *is* a quotation.
For you and dreckery not to know that (or Yeats) is your problem, not
mine.

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

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.

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 -

http://tinyurl.com/the-sp-2

- 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Actually I'm paraphrasing your friend "Gary". He'll probably tell you

No, mensageorge, I never typed anything like that.

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?

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,

That's my opinion, based on what I've seen of your poetry, as we've

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
why I can't get a good rendition of one of your poems done, just not
on a deadline, as I discussed at the start, with George Dance about
this proposed project:

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.

Peter, to whom I posted Yeats's verse from "When You Are Old," was
able to recognize where the verse came from. If you had to google it,
that's your issue, not mine. He didn't need to be told who wrote it.
In contrast, who recognized Cohen's haiku, and why did you use neither
quotation marks nor block quote format to indicate you were quoting
someone?

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.

Once again: So what? Do you really think Karlythera couldn't
"understand" why I quoted that verse to her?

I don't know what you're babbling about. If you and anyone else here
can't recognize what quotation marks or a block quote *means,* that's
your problem.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

His poem isn't a Sleeping Beauty poem: you've conflated the two poems.

I don't recall that, but Transformativeness applies:
"... the quoted matter is used as raw material, transformed in the
creation of new information, new aesthetics, new insights and
understandings--this is the very type of activity that the fair use
doctrine intends to protect for the enrichment of society."
