I like this poem a lot. The sad story of a woman living and dying alone well told, and the irony at the end is a delicious touch. Well done!

A sad story. On seeing the image and reading the first few lines I got a feeling that 'something is rotten in the state of Denmark' . Poor lady, she must have died of heart attack while still writing a poem. Though sad, this is an intriguing tale, dear Sara.

Death is always sad but at least her poems lived after her.

Wow! Sad and fantastic! We stayed with someone, once, that wasn’t taking care. The unhappiness was palpable.

Poignant poem that revolves around plagiarism in a very sensitive way, Sara. Enjoyed reading your beautiful poem.
