RE: CEMETERY GATES (An Original Poem)
Cemetery Gates was a song from the mid 80's by The Smiths. Oddly enough it was about plagiarism. Now I'm not saying there's any plagiarism in your poem - if there is it's definitely not from this song. I'm just saying 'there's always someone somewhere with a big nose who knows.'
Please read the comments above...
To my knew aquired knowledge the name was used by many bands.
Having listened to those songs, I do not find anything familiar in my work to them.
In fact if you dig on deeper and read the piece, you will see that the meaning is completly different.
Thank you for the comment
Please don't misunderstand me, I absolutely wasn't accusing you of plagiarism, your poem is nothing like any of these songs that I'm aware of, and stands out as a great work in its own right. The truth is there are so many songs / poems in existence that I imagine its more or less impossible to give any new work a totally original name. Just pointing out the coincidence thats all. :-)
The quote was from the song. I was a big fan of The Smiths at the time, although this track is far from their best work, one of Mozza's more pretentious efforts.
