Plagiarism, Plagiarism, Plagiarism

By Tom Hodges

Everything written has been mentioned by someone. You look for a line that fascinates you and hope that you can build a poem. Those lines that you think came from the top of your head may show a touch of Shakespeare. How in the hell did that line get in there? Nothing is original any more. For that reason I have decided to title this book: “PLAGIARISM - PLAGIARISM - PLAGIARISM”.

I have awakened many times during the night with a line flashing across my face. I’ve gone as far as finishing that poem in my mind, but would not get up. If you don’t write it down, you will not remember a word the next morning. There goes my masterpiece. HA!
