Poem Parodies

Originally published on: 27/03/2011

Don’t have the time for a separate blog post because of all the work I have to do for college, so I figured that using some of my stuff for college as a blog post would be a good idea.

So, here are some poems I rewrote as limericks (with my own patronizing interpretations, of course)

Porphyria’s Lover

Her lover did not want to share

With others her long golden hair

So went on to use

The locks as a noose

To kill her. Rapunzel beware.

Lucy poems

Alas, I shall never know why

Poems about her multiply.

I should know by now

She is dead somehow

And shines like diamonds in the sky.

Original poem: http://www.poetry-archive.com/w/lucy.html

Lochinvar

He arrived at her time of need

So from her dumb groom she was freed

And they galloped away.

He was real brave, they say,

But shouldn’t someone praise the steed?

(My horse looks weird. I knew I should have drawn another Unihorn instead)

Shakespearean sonnet XVIII

Love of mine, someday you’ll die,

But have no fear, baby don’t cry.

My epic sonnet

With your name on it

Will remain forever so fly!

Original poem: http://www.poetry-online.org/shakespeare_sonnet_18_shall_i_compare_thee_to_a_summers_day.htm

Putting up another set of these as soon as I’m done drawing a couple more pictures.
