I don't believe it...

Thu May 1, 2008, 2:01 PM
I'm truely in shock right now. Many of you here have read (and loved) my poem "Death's Lullaby". Recently I made a minor edit to the poem and re-sent it to my Dev-Watchers so that they could tell me what they thought of it. I never thought it would have the consequences that it has.

The deviation has been reported and removed for copyright violation. T_T

I don't understand how this could have happened. As far as I'm aware, the only copyright I could have POSSIBLY violated was my own, because I know down to the core of my soul that that poem was my work and it's been posted here for 4 years. Somehow, there's been a horrible mistake and I'm afraid that I may never get that poem back since I do know where the original hard copy is.

I've sent an inquiry to DevArt (god knows how long that could take) and I've sent a note and email to the person I believe reported me (who's name I will not disclose) asking them to please re-review the case and help right this wrong. I can only hope that somehow this HAS been a horrible mistake and that Deviant Art can help me right it.

Until then... I really just feel like a piece of my soul has been violated. I don't even know what to do...

That's terrible! Try try try to find the original! That may be your best bet. This is awful... I offer you all my sympathies and assurances. That situation is one of my fears as a writer too. -hugs- If you don't mind, I'll pray for you.

Now on the day I was born,
The nurses all gathered 'round.
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found.
The head nurse spoke up
She said, "Leave this one alone."
She could tell right away
That I was Bad to the Bone.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are ignorant, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I don't mind at all, thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I have been in touch now with the person who sent the Dev-complaint and we have realized that it's a mistake we're now trying to contact DevArt. We'll see where it goes...

Can't you see that sometimes I need to be bothered? That sometimes I push you away, hoping that you'll care enough to come back and try again?

I loved that poem!
It's such a shame that it got copyright violated! :(
I hope it all turns out right in the end. :hug:
