Carefully watch all of your speech
don’t say much of anything
that can be compelling
or like the bluest oceans
be thought of as deep

Flying words on banners
cascading by from planes
vowels of the constellations
up in the sky
are far from safe

The thoughts we utter
from mouths painted lips
with little thought for
the tiny thoughts
that might become
just the icebergs tip
For a writer on the look out
is a victim hanging onto
his life vest waiting for a ship

Be wary of who you speak to
they might be easily stealing
with permission from you
the lines you deal out
like cards in life’s game
are someone else’s
thoughts for ink gain

You might just read
your own dang blurbs
in a poem
written by the thief of
your free-spoken words

This is oh so true....and yet....if someone were to take my words, I would consider that a blessing, for perhaps that person could make them sound just that much better....

so I continue to share, and one of us here knows it quite well!....

LOL....

They say it is the highest form of appreciation and accolade.  Like Sunshine, I believe if one takes my work and uses it, makes it better, or even just touches another I could not, I am happy.

Your written work, plagerized or not, is a kind of immortality.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

ok just to clarify I am not upset that my words get theived.  In fact I'm quite happy about it.  I'd willingly give them to *her* anyday.  Who wouldn't want Doreen to do that?

And besides...she doesn't take my words from my poetry...she kypes it from my emails.  LOL  It's quite cute!
