   I've always to the time to understand the difference between poetry theft and   
   plagiarism.   
      
   For instance, Michael Cook stole my "Karma Bombs" poem and put it on his   
   website without my knowledge or permission which was poetry theft but he   
   didn't try to pass it off as his own poetry, which would have been plagiarism.

   Well put.
