that is a crock of shit! if you copy something word for word and say you wrote it, whether it is "public domain" or not, it is wrong to do. you cannot say that you wrote it when you didn't. if it was "research" you should have given credit to the original author or your source. this is offensive that you would try to defend yourself for this action which you know is wrong and goes against what this site and writing poetry is all about. You would get more respect by fessing up than by weasling around.
