Poem Parody
Assignment Value:
So far, 12 people have completed this assignment.
Take a poem and create a parody of it! Make a sonnet from Shakespeare into an ode to your cat, or rewrite Poe's "The Raven" to be about Star Wars -- shoot for anything you can come up with. The more ridiculous, the better! Be sure to link back to the original poem, too, so we can see what you're parodying.

Invictus
Chef of our Curries (Parody)
By William Ernest Henley
By Morgan Perez
Out
of the night that covers me,
Out
of the cave that covers thee,
Black

Dark

Poem Parody – Spy Version
The Kill
He clasps the gun with firm hands;
Close to the enemy in midlands,
Ring’d with the situation, he stands.
The enemy in front of him walks;
He watches from behind the rocks
And like a thunderbolt the enemy squawks

A preposterously parodical poem
I have selected writing assignment #1924 to work on today. The prompt requests that we take a famous poem, and parody it. I initially wanted to do a Shel Silverstein poem, because he was my favorite poet when I was a kid (he’s still up there to this day). Unfortunately, …

And sorry I could not unravel both
and be one unraveler, long I stood
And yanked one as much as I could
Shouting curses and oaths;
Then took the other, as just as …

they were hoping for my head,
they were scuffling up clothing…
Green Grass and Cann
For this assignment, we were supposed to take a poem and make a parody of it. I decided to do Green Eggs and Ham. While it technically isn’t a poem, it rhymes so whatever. The original Green Eggs and Ham can be found here and now onto my parody..Green Grass …
English Suppression or Wordsworth Gazes on Thom Gunn
This is a parody of Wordsworth, that chortles at the line, ‘A Poet could not be but gay’ but with a little bit of me, thinking about the changes in social culture since my youth as a very repressed young gay man in the 1960s to now, married to Geoff. He liked the poem a […]
