⏳NaPoWriMo 🫖April 🌱2023🌺Day 14

#shadorma #NaPoWriMo #April #2023

Now for our (optional) daily prompt. Hopefully, this one will provide you with a bit of Friday fun. Today, I challenge you to write a parody or satire based on a famous poem. It can be long or short, rhymed or not. But take a favorite (or unfavorite) poem of the past, and see if you can’t re-write it on humorous, mocking, or sharp-witted lines. You can use your poem to make fun of the original (in the vein of a parody), or turn the form and manner of the original into a vehicle for making points about something else (more of a satire – though the dividing lines get rather confused and thin at times).

Happy writing!

❤️I don't like parodies, so I ended up writing a shadorma with why one shouldn't write one. So the theme has influenced me - sort of.❤️

INK STILL WET - A Shadorma Series.

I don't wish 
to parody a 
poem, someone's 
hard work laughed 
at, satire too has more than
a touch of the cruel.

I like to 
write new poems not go 
over old 
ones with a
mockery not worthy of 
me, leave the dead be.

Or they may 
rise up and laugh at 
our very 
presumption 
Edgar Allen Poe will tell 
us all, where to go 

Will Shakespeare 
may well throw a fit!
Owen, Brooke, 
Sasoon, and 
McCrae will tell us war is 
no laughing matter.

They would be 
right, the Emilys,
Dickinson 
and Bronte 
would tell you love isn't a 
funny joke either.

So here's a 
toast to authentic 
and brand new 
ink still wet 
poems, long may they prevail 
and their poets too!
