3. A Parody
Is an imitation of a particular writer, artist, or a genre, exaggerating it deliberately to produce a comic/humorous effect.

4. Parody
The humorous effect in a parody is achieved by imitating and overstressing noticeable features of a famous piece of literature, where certain characteristics of a person are highlighted to achieve a humorous effect.

5. The obvious point to know about parody
In order to write a parody, there has
to be an original work that the
poet refers to (either to criticize or
make fun of).
Therefore, as readers, we need to be
familiar with that original work in
order to fully understand what is
being parodied.

6. Function of Parody
Establishes a dialogue with the original work. In order to write a parody, you need to really understand the original work to reproduce its style and manner.
A commentary on the original work for different purposes (make fun of, criticize…etc.).
The purpose of parody to be funny or witty and make us (the reader) laugh.
Provides a fresh perspective on the original work and what it represents. That fresh look might be about the poem or about something larger than the poem.

7. Function of Parody
When one writer parodies another writer’s work, it does not necessarily mean that the original writing is without merit.
According to critic Dwight Macdonald
“Most parodies are written out of admiration rather than contempt.”

10. 1-How to Write a Parody
Start with a rhythm and a rhyme pattern you like and stick with it like glue. A consistent rhythm and rhyme pattern is an essential element in a poem that’s going to be fun to read. Probably the best way to accomplish that goal is to write a “pastiche” of a well-known poem or song.

11. Vocabulary
Pastiche-(N) a literary, musical, or artistic piece consisting wholly or chiefly of motifs/techniques borrowed from one or more sources.

12. 2-How to Write a Parody
You’ll need a premise or concept that expresses your humorous point-of-view about the subject. Then make a list of funny facts that support the humorous point you are trying to make. For example, if you are making fun of a teacher, principal, sibling, parent, or politician, you might want to write verses about how forgetful, contradictory, ineffective, or out of touch they seem to be.

13. 3-How to Write a Parody
Then add humorous “facts” (the closer you get to the truth, the better) to support your point of view.

21. Elegy
This is what our dying looks like. You believe in the sun. I believe I can't love you. Always be closing, Said our favorite professor before He let the gun go off in his mouth. I turned 29 the way any man turns In his sleep, unaware of the earth Moving beneath him, its plates in Their places, a dated disagreement. Let's fight it out, baby. You have  
Only so long left—a man turning In his sleep—so I take a picture. I won't look at it, of course. It's His bad side, his Mr. Hyde, the hole In a husband's head, the O Of his wife's mouth. Every night, I take a pill. Miss one, and I'm gone. Miss two, and we're through. Hotels Bore me, unless I get a mountain view, A room in which my cell won't work, And there's nothing to do but see The sun go down into the ground That cradles us as any coffin can.
