ENGL214----db12-----at least 250 words

Try your own hand at creating a parody or a translation of a published poem.  You have two options for this assignment, and please select at least one to complete:

• Select any poem, and do a creative rewrite of it.  Parody a serious poem, making sure to implement the elements of parody that you've learned. 
• "Translate" a difficult or outdated poem.  Translate any poem that you think needs more clarity.  Make sure to format your translation so that it looks like a poem. 

Include ample explanation for your rewrite.  What words, phrases, line breaks, tone, or figures of speech did you change?  And, most importantly, to what effect?
