Hmm. Lets agree to disagree.
Whereas there might be imitators and I am excluding them from this discussion, I believe creativity still exists because we all experience things, they may be the same kind of things but we experience it uniquely and that is what comes out in any new piece of writing.
We may be limited by words and phrases and language and even concepts and those might repeat. And this is where our perception would matter. We see things from our perspective. Not the writers. For example, 2 poems of love, written by 2 different people will be interpreted in a similar way by an onlooker but if you were to dig deeper behind for the meaning, each one would give you a different spin to it.
