How can I find out if someone plagiarized a poem?

Question

Because my friend said she wrote a really great poem, but it doesn't seem like she wrote it at all.

Anyway to find out?

Answer 1

Post the poem here. I'm usually pretty good at picking who wrote a poem, even the contemporary poets.

Answer 2

Google some of the passages word for word and see if they match up to anything previously published on the internet.

Answer 3

search some of the passages and if that doesn't come up u can check some poetry web sites like poetry.com to check

or/and have her write another just as good ( if u dont want her to know u doubt her then say u want her to make one like that for a card ur making for someone and u need a poem like that one )
