Check out our ABC Darian Poems!
By: Brittany Hodge & Janee Gresham
Instead of using an essay to discuss the pros and cons of plagiarism, our staff decided to have everyone write an ABC Darian poem to express opinions about plagiarism. An ABC Darian poem is a poem consisting of twenty-six lines that addresses a specific topic. Each line has to begin with an letter of the alphabet. Keep in mind that it has to be in chronological order. This is great for all students because it teaches them the concept of theme and imagery just through a simple poem. It's as easy as ABC; anyone can do it!

Lamentations of a Plagiarist
by Brittany Hodge and
Traiven Degraffenreidt
I Got Caught
Avoiding plagiarism is kind of hard,
Because of this I tend to do it a lot,
Can’t help myself, it calls my name,
Doesn’t want to stop tempting me either,
Even though I know it’s not right,
Frequently I forget about that and do it anyway,
Going to do the actual work is tiring,
Having to think and write when I can copy and paste,
I decided to plagiarize on my homework essay,
Just because it saves me time and a headache,
Kids in my class did the work and it was amusing to me,
Like when my teacher actually thought I did the work,
Made me think I could get away with it,
Not until she called me up to her desk,
“Outstanding work dear student,” she said to me,
“Placing every word and letter as this document on the web,”
Question; “How did you manage to write your essay exactly like theirs?”
“Real, and great writer think alike,” I replied,
Soon the lying ended and the truth came out,
Trust was lost and failing grades were earned,
Until that day I never understood my actions, but now I do,
Verily I say to you, don’t plagiarize,
When you do this you’re only hurting yourself,
‘Xactly like all the losers in the world,
You should avoid plagiarism at all costs-
Zero is the price you pay!
“Lamentations of a Plagiarist”
Kerese McPherson
Adela Vlahovljak
A simple way out was the way I was thinking
Better to try then to fail all together
Can’t getting an assignment done be any easier?
Drowning in agony it was my last resort
Everything was at my fingertips
Full advantage was taken
“Go ahead it is okay, they won’t find out”
How could I be so stupid?
I should have known that I would get caught
Just as I have been told
Kate got caught
Luis did too
Me?
Never in a million years would I have thought
Or anytime soon at least
Plagiarism is never they way to go
Question yourself before you take the risk
Reconsider the result that you believe you will get
Since you do not expect the worst
Then it will happen for that reason
Utilize your resources and time properly, don’t wait until last minute
Verify that you didn’t plagiarize is what you should do, it
Will be the best route to take
‘Xactly when I thought my burden was over by using someone else’s words
You would not ponder what happened,
Zane reported me.

Plagiarism
Ashley Carter, Rojay Clarke, and Antroy Palmer
A work that is not yours is called plagiarism
Beware of what you write,
Concepts of plagiarism have consequences
Despite what a cheater thinks
Everything dealing with plagiarism is bad,
For everything you write, make sure it is not plagiarized
Giving the concepts of plagiarism you can avoid it
Hoping not to get caught
I shouldn’t do it at all
Just don’t do it
Knowledge that is yours
Lingers in your brain
Making it easier for you to retain it
No it is not okay to steal
Oppose the urge to cheat
Positive actions results in good rewards
Quit plagiarism
Restrain from
Subconscious thoughts
That pressures you into cheating
Unfair advantage over other students is
Very unjust
Whether or not you are
‘Xactly sure of your assignment
You should never plagiarize
Zealously do your own work.
