About This Poem

Parody

I'm a parody!  What are you?
Are you some kind of parody too?
Then there would be a pair of us
And this would be hilarious

How dreary-to-be Serious!
How public-read aloud
Rhetorical runes recited
To a somber crowd


Parody of poem no#288 by Emily Dickinson

    Jon, well done, not sure what kind of paroody I am, I think a combo of serious and silly. Constance

    You aren't a parody my dear constance. You are the real thing. An original. A gem.
