They're not original to me. I only cull the best of the ones I get from my friends and perhaps tweak them a bit. If I get 10 copies of the same thing, I assume everyone has already seen it so I don't e-mail it, nor post it. I sometimes send out 3 or 4 a day to my "Buddy" list at grinninggrammy@bellsouth.net. It started with just my friends from church but has grown considerably.
I assume if they're floating around on the internet with no copyright listed, they must be public domain, but if anyone wants credit for some, it may be theirs. I do have some original poetry under "Poetic Inspirations" and some original articles in The Cypress Times electronic newspaper.
