I wrote a "take-off" on a French song using a technique that I believe is called "parallel construction." [https://french.stackexchange.com/questions/6041/can-rustique-be-used-as-a-form-of-self-deprecation](https://french.stackexchange.com/questions/6041/can-rustique-be-used-as-a-form-of-self-deprecation) In English, the original begins, "Me, me I am a man. And you, you are music." My version closely parallels this: "She, she is a woman. And me I am just a rustic" (peasant). Is this technique used a lot in poetry? Is it considered a form of plagiarism? I'm writing "original" thoughts, but using someone else's template, especially in a language in which I am not fluent.
