Absolutely inspiration knows no boundary

Is it necesary to tack on a credit to the original author and said work?

Most def: it avoids any hint of plagiarism, and well hell, give credit where credit is due

 

[Magnetron]

It was my intention to do so regardless.

Thank you ever so much.

it's always a good idea to give the nod, and not just for the reasons harry points out - though some might recognise the allusions if they've read the other works, there will be those who won't. a footnote will point anyone who cares to find out more in the right direction.

You asked, while smoking a cigarette afterwards,
Stop it! Remembering her,

Nights like tonight mention love?
Marking time Christmas Eve disturbed
between flights, a chance missed.
Afterwards at the window sorrow,
Please read the letter I wrote.
