Legitimacy of this poem?
I am an eight grade English teacher and I have recently asked my students to create a poem as a graded assignment. One of my students sent me a poem, and I am unsure whether or not he has in any way plagiarized. Has anyone ever read the following poem, anything like it, or know its creator (if it has one)? Please show me how you know if you can!
Time whimpered at your feet.
You, carrying all but your mustard bags,
(Gasses as if they were perfume handles)-
Withheld, yet not concealed.
A middle year without wonder,
As sharp as the stick that held it last,
Like an old coat on the hanger shaft;
Like an old duck with a stiffened waddle.
A kettle steaming in the sand says:
“Pick it up and pour your tea,
Lest the waters turn to grits”
There you will see the salivating tongues of time
licking the dials of your watch.
And the Man with the Tuscan Trumpet is condemned to Paradise.
The sea is a locket and I am its keeper.
Im pretty sure theres a website, that if you put the poem or writing into the database, it’ll show u if anypart is plegerized….
I dont know the site though…cause im only a student..but my librarian, when she was teaching us about how to not plegerize, said that teachers can go on this certain site,….
good luck
