How to Eat a Poem - Parody
How to Rip your Homework
By Noam Landau
Don’t be quiet
Rip it up
Pick it up with your fingers and
Tear it up some more
It is dead now, when you make it.
You do not need scissors or a paper shredder
Just use your hands
For there is no test
or quiz
or exam
To study for.
This Is Just To Say- Parody
your airplane
that was on your desk
And which
you were probably
saving
for school
Forgive me
it looked cool
and I was
3.

Death
The poem “Death” by John Donne is known to be a great poem for a lot of reasons. For example its unusual language use makes it a really unique. It is also great that the whole poem is actually one big metaphor.
One reason for this poem to be considered great is its unusual use of language. The language that is used in this poem is old English. It also does not have correct spelling. An example of the old English is “Death be not proud, though some have called thee”. An example of the unusual spelling is “And dost with poison, warre, and sickness dwell”. This poem is made of 3 lines only which are then turned into smaller lines.
Another reason this poem is considered great is that it is all one big metaphor. This poem is about how death cannot control natural death but can control artificial death.
Overall this poem is a great poem. For its language and metaphor.
