The Avon Bard served to inspire
Young Keats unto his Bright Star sonnet
The sea took Shelley to his pyre,
Bestowed with words of Keats upon it
Yet Keats wet not the widow's eye,
Nor counted clocks that tell the time
Yet Shelley drew no Bright Star nigh,
Nor flowered a tale more sweet than rhyme
So why I ask would any poet
Claim unto them another's craft?
If thou has not the wit to show it,
Pray, keep thine own words saved as Draft.

It saddens me to see the work of others copied without reference to the original, especially here, and especially when so many offer words of congratulations and encouragement to someone with no skills beyond google/copy/paste.
