If there's money or fame or recognition you think can be made from it, and that's the reason you did it, then you have a moral issue. If you can't write your own poem, that's sad for you. What other reasons would you have for it? That depends on your method. The other poet might not approve, or might not care. I don't particularly think if the thing falls apart once someone discovers what youve copied then it's worth it. But there could be other reasons.
The immorality may be the point. If you stretch the subject out, whether to create a sinister mood i for yourself, or unethical stance, or to simply borrow something from somewhere else, some odd idea might strike you that inspires another direction. Another train of thought to utilize somewhere else.
