I'm reading and commenting slowly this week but I can't wait to see what you all have come up with! <br /><br /><b>Shawna</b>, I'm often afraid of saying anything against Emily Dickinson because she seems to be very popular! I don't get her at all. And I haven't felt like spending vacation with her poetry to get to love her yet. ;)<br /><br /><b>Isadora</b>, the Coen brother, yes, amazing, amazing. I'm so glad I watched their movies! Hudsucker Proxy, one of my favorite! :)<br /><br />Kiss you all girls. <3Kenia Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893148474912410033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-38584738936118755512012-05-18T12:26:41.856-05:002012-05-18T12:26:41.856-05:00I found this tough.

The only ones i have kept around over the years are the ones I like!

But poem is not new: I encountered the original when studying, loathing it so much that I immediately wrote my parody. The only thing I can find to like, even mildly, is the format - which has not reproduced exactly as I or Ted Hughes used it.vivinfrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388722600118753457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-1151426554891868872012-05-16T23:51:00.114-05:002012-05-16T23:51:00.114-05:00---Pardon that language, but I think this challeng...---Pardon that language, but I think this challenge was fucking brilliant.
