I Stole This Poem Poem by Robert Smith

I Stole This Poem

Rating: 5.0


I stole this poem, yes I did
It isn't mine to publish
But every word I write myself
On paper reads like rubbish.

This gem says all I want and more
It shines my beacon bright
It's everything I would have said
If I knew how to write.

Women, gold and accolades
May rain down from the sky
I deserve to taste these things
Just once before I die.

I stole this poem, yes I did
To my eternal shame
I pierce my conscience with my pen
And sign my bloody name.

I like when they throw money, but watch out for falling gold... stuff hits you in the noggin it's lights out.

I read it again. This poem of yours is a brilliant response to a dubious request. Well done. Robert.

I guess he told me to steal the poem, so I wrote an original that claimed to be stolen, but wasn't. Wait, I'm confused, can we start again? Hahaha thanks!
