This is a parody of a poem by Countee Cullen displayed in my notes.


She thinks that Blond number seven
Will make her Zza Zza Gabor.
The herbal facial was like heaven;
The back rub was a chore....

Sixteen years of searching,
Its done me no good.
I haven't found the right man yet,
A man who shows that he loves me,
Who protects me
And who is dangerous.
I read about this man,
But does he not exist?
It's so hard to find you,
Edward Cullen....

Misfit always out of step with the world,
Outsider longing to run forever;
Then into my reticent life you twirled; 
Proximity my only endeavor;
Eyes lit on fire and my appetite swirled,
there was no confusion whatsoever; 
The vampire in me kindled a sparkle,
Edward Cullen please make me immortal....

You out there in the darkness
Picking up your pens
Need encouragement from the Lower East Side
Surely you can writing something as imaginative as Tolkien 
Funny as Woody Allen
As moving as Countee Cullen. So pick up your pens 
and write 
send it to poetrysoup.com
No, you probably won't be able to quit the day job
Or maybe you will!...

Massachusett's Willianm Cullen Bryant
The first 'All American' poetic giant;

Focussed the new nation's eyes
as his poetry became widely recognised.



Bryant(1794-1878) found fam with 'to a Waterfowl' & 'The Prairies' & also helped lay the 
foundations for 'American' poetry as well as creating Central Park NY...

Bryant’s Necropolis Conceit
 
Silent halls of death so cometh
William Cullen Bryant
Thanatopsis supremeus now
A sepulchre awaits us all.

Dour darkness and shroud forever
Thanatopsis-Phantasmus
The spirit world so beckons us
We all shall so wither and fall.

I used to think that you were my Edward Cullen,
My Alexander Sterling.
But now I see that you're a Jacob Black,
A Jagger Maxwell,
And that your going nowhere fast. 
I can't believe that I let you lead me so far astray,
Astray from the true course in my life.
Is there any part of me left unbroken?
Is she absolutely necessary to your survival?
Can't you see that I'm just as good for you as she is?
Or are you too blind?...

High festive confusion among real monsters
Around that wonderful time of the year, for:
Lay men mistook Dracula for Edward Cullen,
Lost Big Foot, they called "Chewy"
Offense they did to evil wizards when they whispher "Hogwarts is real"
Wicked witches were thought from the West,
Every werewolf was seen as a teen,
Even the Devil is encouraged to wear Prada, that 
No human that night guessed the monsters were real!
