One can only speculate about what kind of pathetic longing for attention and/or malicious need to trick and feel superior to others leads people to plagiarize famous poems and post them as their own. Since the person in question seems to be using a pseudonym, it is not quite the same sort of theft as those of people who have tried to pass off others' work as their own in order to win contests. It runs less risk of getting caught and held accountable, but without any significant benefit to the plagiarist except that of feeling above those he or she has tricked.
