Just Borrowing Poem by Lauren Coles

Just borrowing
People are afraid to lend items to other people because it might not get returned,
Words are a different story,
You can't take words from the page,
It is a federal crime that can get you into some deep water,
Being a writer is a trough job because motivation comes to you a little too late,
Ideas are like popcorn when they come in your mind,
You have to strike while the iron is hot or the idea is gone forever,
If you are new to writing you can look at examples of other authors for inspiration,
You may have your fists clenched in frustration,
If you have to write something for school you can cite a few paragraphs or the article or book,
Citing just means putting or rearranging the words in your own magical way,
Copyright infringement is a good thing so people who are dishonest can't take credit for other creative works,
You never know what people are capable of doing these days.
