Poet Responds to the Plagiarist
PurpleZephyrUnicorn, those are my poems
you post in magenta fonts, italicized,
illustrated with photos stolen from BuyFlowers.com—
tacky ribboned things with prices glowing orange
across the bottom. My poems, PurpleZephyrUnicorn,
that you mistype and punctuate like a three-year old
who just discovered the shift key! & *wow*
(like) that’s so: you know, flattering!!
Or not. Look again: they’re near unrecognizable.
I’m happy, then, to let you call these poems your own.
