Depth of Illusion (Free verse) by Beyond_Dreams
She danced in beauty
throughout the night,
the impressionable chill of the
Starry Night;
Her eyes twinkled bright
like a continuous painting of
delicate delight.
Swirled with gold and trimmed
with desire,
she nestled under the
slumbering tree
curled up in a ball with
Georgia O'Keeffe.
Waited for sun break to let
the lilies free,
and as her eyes closed feeling the
warmth from the sun; and the hush
of the wind, Picasso painted 'The Dream'
and she waited until the
moon licked the lake once more.

It's not exactly plagiarising, but zodiac likes to get the rankerfolk all rawled up... It's good fun, getting people all defensive... anyway, you can do better than that.
Yes! we make 'm stew, make 'm cry, make 'm pensive
but not you -- you just sputter
and endlessly mutter
how little it means to you when rankers the tens give.
The part about simply trying to upset rankers has never been true. Anyway if would be stupid to try, since poemranker users are amazing at not getting upset even over the most rabid cockbattings. I think this is because they're all poets and therefore masochists. And they can justify pretty much anything by saying things like 'he just likes to get people rawled up'. My intention, as always, is always only to point out mistakes. And I've had a change of heart on top of that. QED.
In the context of the exchange it is a part of, it's gotta be one of my all-time cleverest limericks evar. Doncha think?
And I don't see how 'wanting someone to humor him with objections' is something particularly desert-rat-like. Or zodiaclike, for that matter.
I'm sorry, that's just how it seems to me. It's almost impossible that anyone could invented the phrase 'She [verb] in beauty, [preposition] the night' independently. And besides, having presumably passed 9th grade, you have to have read the poem. That makes it your responsibility to come up with something that doesn't make people think, 'this is just like Byron's poem, only worse.'
Unfortunately for you, Byron beat you to it by about two hundred years. Now it's your responsibility to change yours, especially since Byron can't very well change his, having been Greeked to death before your greatgreatgreat grandmother was born.
San Francisco Blues 'by Jack Kerouac' one of the lines reads like this... "In the calm & peaceful
Night-"
In this poem 'by Kit McCallum' the line reads like this..."The peaceful calm of night."
So you're telling me one of these people has to change their poem because it is very similar to other persons poem?
that tried to tell some dumb nymph's little story
but there's nothing on google
to show it's not new, go
check, you'll see it ain't stolen glory!
