if poems are plagarism it's bad, I can't talk for pics, i don't know anything about it

I am pretty sure the poems can be checked somehow too and Steemcleaners would know how to do it. 
As for photos - if its not hers it should always give the source. Even if it is a *free* image. (Though I think that if it is free no one should make money from it).

I use  most of my own pictures. The ones that do come from elsewhere are credited to the website/owner. 
And I, like you, am not sure how this has gone overlooked for so long. I've only been on here for about six weeks and have seen people on here about the same amount of time as myself, and have seen them getting warned about the pic/image credit, etc.
I thought steemit had a way of sifting through this and sending a cheetah around. Or am I wrong?
Why do members have to be the picture police?

Bah, I really hate it when people don't cite their sources. I've called out quite a few plagiarists already, be it text or images, but as you've just shown, some go unnoticed by everyone for way too long.

I checked google and couldn't find any hits on the poems, so can't know if they're original or stolen.

You could pass this along to @sherlockholmes if you feel this needs further investigation and/or actions. Maybe mention it to Steemcleaners.

Huh, It seems you can't even click the photos to get to the source. That's what I do in my blog; each photo links to where I took it from, and provide a reminder of this at the end of every article (hope I didn't forget this in any of them).
And the fact that she posts so much, I'd be surprised if the poems are original. No way someone has <em>that</em> much creativity.

Also, her last post definitely uses a premium photo.

I agree with you, it's not too demanding to expect original content or at least giving credit! People often think it's fine to use other's photos without credit, as well as poems, but neither are ok. Best we can do is downvote with a comment or simply ask for credits in comments a few times and then downvote if no change occurs.

I caught people doing this on FaceBook too.....some friends went on a camping trip and I thought the pictures looked way too fake of the campfire, etc. Did the same thing and this friend was taking pics off pinterest and filling her profile with these "fake" trips. Its kinda sad, actually. On another note, I think I found a strange bot account.....who would I bring attention of that one to???

I've just commented on a very similar post. 

Either someone much more intelligent than me creates a way to deal with them through some sort of review process or unfortunately we will have to ignore as much as possible.
