Just because a line is similar to that poem does not mean I have to change it. The meaning is different, and besides many poems may have similar lines its when the whole poem is similar where I would start to question the writer. For Example...

San Francisco Blues 'by Jack Kerouac' one of the lines reads like this... "In the calm & peaceful
Night-"

In this poem 'by Kit McCallum' the line reads like this..."The peaceful calm of night."

So you're telling me one of these people has to change their poem because it is very similar to other persons poem?
