What do you think about this poem?

Question

Comment: Illegal use of foreign intellectual property was a common business during the Soviet time; not much has changed since then despite economical reforms in Russia. Plagiarists are now as before re-writing and publishing under their names professional manuals and handbooks. Piracy of software is seen as normal business.

Not Pushkin am I, neither Poe,
So great is not my fame.
I am a humble Russian poet,
S. Jargin is my name.

To plagiarize is worse than steal
We love the Copyright,
And by quotations we reveal
The source from which we write.

Great Bear is roaring in morass
And rising up upright,
Reminding Russian writers must
Respect the Copyright.

The Wolf is howling in the wood,
His dreams have flown before –
Deploring that Red Riding Hood
Will eat he – nevermore!

And just alike the fraudster should
Forget his hope and lore
That his unfair practice would
Bring profit – nevermore!

Answer 1

I like it, but I think this line: "To plagiarize is worse than steal" would work better if it read: "To plagiarize is worse than to steal".
You have good rhythm and rhyme, and I do like the message. Keep writing!

Answer 2

Great work!I especially like the reference to Poe directly and indirectly.

Answer 3

It was just ok for me.... I like using the style of poetry that makes the reader, read deeper like reading "between the lines." An indirect way of saying how you feel. But that's just my style. Keep writing.

Answer 4

the Russians claim to have invented everything communism creates imaginary history. the winner of a war writes their on version of history not what really happened

Answer 5

Applaud, applaud, applaud and curtain call please. More questions put to rhyme, I heard the that certain, just then, but not one more bang!

Answer 6
