Thank you, Michael.  We have strong doubts that a poem titled "The Days
Pile Up" by Robert Creeley exists.  Mr. Dance posted one line, which was
not the same as what we wrote in our original poem. We have to assume
that Mr. Dance was so jealous of our talents that he took the first line
of our poem, changed it a bit, and claimed that we plagiarized it,
thinking that no one would challenge him.

Well, hello there, NastyGoon. It's interesting to hear from you that,
while "Michael" (HarryLiar) claims that the two lines are only
superficially the same, you believe that one of them has only been
"changed ... a bit" from the other (though you're "assuming" that your
line was written first, and therefore you were the one "plagiarized").

So Nancy Gene changed one word of Robert Creeley's opening line, but
it's obviously lifted from the earlier poem by Robert Creeley, who
passed away in 2005.
And so it goes.
