Mockery
Pale copy duplicated
Echo of words already spoken
Thin gruel
Praise caught in someone else's
applause
Sallow reflection
Similarity but no direction
A rejection
No substance
Cracked version of an original
fake, a sham
A mockery of viewers intelligence

pligerism is a terrible thing. I see it offen. it can never be as good as the real thing. because the feeling can not be duplicated.

Yes
You are right, not always an acceptable thing in some peoples' view.

Lou,
has someone plagarised your work?...or is this just a theme?
I liked each stanza...the message was clear.
Particularly liked this line:
Praise caught in someone else's
applause.
I have been accused of plagarism...obvioulsy not true, but to be accused of it makes you feel totally sick...especially when you have to defend and prove your work is original when you have done nothing wrong. The accuser is allowed to make a false statement and then run away...she knows who she is and I await her return!
regards,
HS (not bitter at all!! LOL!)

This poem is not based on personal experience.
I know that it is horrible to be wrongly acused, and I'm sure you will be vindicated.

Lou,
yes I have been vindicated, but the wound is raw and has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.
Glad your poem is not based on personal experience,

It is bound to take time to get over something like that, but the person who accused you will get what they deserve, don't usually use this word, but in this case karma will have it's way.
