I feel I have to write to you after your comments on my blog as you seem to have gotten some of the points made but have not been told what actually happened.
"tell it like" Wrote to me enclosing a poetry site I had never heard of before with an accompanying line "tell them or you know I will!" If that is not a threat, then I am sorry but I dont know what is.
I wrote back to him/her saying that I was appalled that he should think I had attempted to deceive anybody but could see that that could have been seen to be the way by anyone who did not know me, and that I would be writing a blog making clear what I had wrote, and how I had found some of the verse, what was mine and what was not.
As you can probably see Keyser did not credit Shakespeare after his last blog! Plagiarism? Many of the pieces I have posted are very well known indeed"Awakening/Sit by you/Paradox/Old mans heart. and the authors are listed as unknown. All of the work is in the public domain and I would be horrified if anyone for on moment thought that I would steal anything from anyone. I have been writing and collecting stories and verse for over 25 years and a great many of the works I have are indeed my own!
This was going to be the general tone of my blog in response to "tell it likes" accusations. However I had no chance to post it because within 24 hours He/She decided to Pm each one of my friends( the women only I suspect) and under the pretext of "research" asked each one of them if they were aware that some of the work was not my own? Why? Is "tell it" the moral guardian of this site. Does this qualify as "Private" correspondence between himself/Herself and me???? Imagine had someone got into your email account and without your permission had written to each and everyone of your friends,no matter what the subject! How would you feel? Fortunately a great many of my friends ( It saddens me greatly that you no longer feel to be one of them) are a great deal better read than "Tell it" and wrote back to him/her not only letting him/her know that they were well aware of what was being written but also quoting some of the authors. And to each and every one of them I owe a heartfelt thanks.
I am greatly saddened that yourself,Jamie or anyone else should feel in anyway hurt or deceived by any of my actions. The sole purpose of my blogs is to bring a little happiness into peoples lives and maybe to entertain. Please accept my apologies for any hurt done and may I wish you a very happy Christmas and a peaceful newyear.
Loving-kindness.

Do not deceive,do not despise each other anywhere,
Nor should you,secret resentment bare,
For as a mother risks her life,watching over her *****,
So boundless be your love to all,tender, kind and mild.
Cherish goodwill right and left,all around early and or late,
And without hindrance,without stint,from envy free and hate.
Wherever you go,whatever you do,whatever you have in mind;
The rule of life that's always best is to be........Loving-kind.
