    the rightful author wishes to remain anonymous. However, I did reach out to her. She sent me the following response in relation to her Queen poem being hijacked and her attached poem addressing individual taking credit and people posting negative feedback.
    
    ----‐------------------------
    "Thank you for your email.
    
    This has really affected my mental health and my trust in social media and my trust in other humans.
    
    It's not that I want the acknowledgment, because that's not why I wrote it. I just feel so saddened that someone else has taken fame in the form of plagiarisms, from the heartbreaking loss of our Queens life.
    
    So, I wrote this.
    
    Please do respect my privilege in being unknown, and that of my small business. However, I'm happy for you to share this poem below. " more »

  Joanne. Wondering why you have not removed poem about the Queen from your collection. A collection where you claim to be the author. I have been in contact with the rightful author of the poem in question. Said poem, where in the rightful owner did not misspell the Queen's husband name incorrectly... as you have done in plagiarizing. The rightful author shared her poem Anonymously. I have emailed various news sites alerting them that you are not the author. Do the right thing. Remove the poem. Being as the damage is done it would also be incumbent upon you to post a permanent message on your page acknowledging you are not the author. more »

  Thank goodness I’m not the only one appalled at the atrocious grammar and spelling in this. Actually it says a lot about the U. S. education system that so many people think this is so good.

  The poem has awful grammar. Missing or random capitalisation, seen should be seeing, no understanding of the apostrophe (there when they shouldn’t be, not there when they should be) and Philip spelled wrong. What's more, it doesn't make sense. "to a world where Kings and Queens are Monarchs every day." Kings and queens are monarchs every day down here on Earth. That's what monarch means. more »
