Swiping Poetry

I swiped a poem yesterday
From a writer I admire.
I used his thoughts, of course,
But chose my own expressions.

A new vehicle, you might say
for feelings re-conveyed.

I did this only to see
If I could feel what he did 
(and perhaps the space between) 

When old Billy Collins wrote
his "Special Glasses" 
oh so many years ago.
