What Not To Do...With Poetry

Don't post poetry just anywhere on the internet. People might steal it and claim that it's theirs. For example:


Read to me
And let my mind
Fly away to a
Wonderful land of
My imagination
Leaving the real
World behind
With all of its
Sorrow, grief,
And unnumbered hurts

Take me to
A place of joy
Where the wondrous
Figments of my
Thoughts reside
Where I make
The rules, and
The laws are
Under my control
And my command

Sing to me
Let me slumber
To the calm
And comforting
Sound of your
Angelic voice
Softly flowing
Through the air
To reassure my
Deranged mind

Dance with me
And let me
Rock and sway
While you
Guide me
With your
Gentle hands
And kindly smile
Pulling me into
A comforting waltz

Live with me
And stay
By my side
Until time's end
Sharing laughs
And smiles
And tears
But for now
Please
Read to me


There's an example of what NOT to do.
