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"Translate" a difficult or outdated poem.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?
