현진이가 그 동안 포이트리 클럽에서 만든 시를 조금 옮겨보았다.
문법도 아직 제대로 안맞는 게 대부분이지만 그래도 라임을 맞추느라 애쓴 흔적이 많이 보였다.

마지막의 시는 기존의 작품에서 조금 인용했다고 저렇게 덧붙였다 한다.
여기는 저작권에 대해 어려서부터 많이 가르쳐주는 것같다.
남의 것을 함부로 도용하거나 표절해서는 안되며 또 만약 그럴 경우에는 반드시 출처를 제시하도록 하는 교육.

지난 유월에 한국서 나올 무렵 가수 김건모의 노래를 조금 들은 적이 있는데 ,제목이 '짱가'였던걸로 기억한다.
아무리 들어도 그 노래의 후렴 부분은 내가 중학교 때 배운 노래'우박은 춤춘다.'와 너무 똑같아 표절한 게 아닌가 생각했는데, 아무도 거기에 이의를 제기하는 소린 아직 없었던 것같다.
아예 처음부터 어디 것을 얼만큼 베꼈다고 밝히거나 하든지 말야......

그러는 나는 지금 현진이의 것을 몰래 슬쩍 허락도 없이 마구마구 옮겨싣고 있다.일기까지도....

이제 봄인가싶다.
한국에서는 상큼한 봄나물 어쩌고 야단일텐데...
향이 좋은 상큼한 봄나물 좀 무쳐 달래 된장국에 두부,파 송송 썰어넣고 밥 한 그릇 뚝딱 하고싶다.
입맛이 없는 것도 아닌데 왜 꼭 제철 음식이 떠올려지는건지 ,원...
이러니 살이 찌지.
