Parodic Pastiche
A little place holder:
Skeeters and Lice Some say my itch is caused by skeeters, Some say by lice. With skin destruction by those feeders I think it just might be the skeeters. But if I had to have bites twice, I know enough of sneaky bugs To bet that for mad itching lice Are biting thugs And might suffice. After Robert Frost, “Fire and Ice” |
Will the ending be fire or ice?
The Frostian question is nice; But the options, in personal terms, Boil down to cremation or worms. |
A nice distinction, in other words.
|
Some say the world will end from Kim,
Some say from ISIS. From what I hear of Jong-un’s whim I hold with those who favor him. But if it perished twice in crisis, I know enough of maddened hate To say that for destruction ISIS Is also great And sure suffices. d |
after Zhuangzi
You say you want me buried, when I die, But I ask: why? Why do you care who eats me, worms or dogs? Do you hate dogs? |
These are wonderful. Quick, make more before the ash or thaw! (Eric, quick, publish it! Poem of the Week at Light, by noon tomorrow.)
Fire burns Ice freezes As for ends Frost teases OR Frost teases Ice freezes Fire burns By turns |
